Question: True or false: wearing a formal suit is always the safest "dress for success" attire.
- true
- false
Answer: The answer is A. While there have been many companies and industries that have become
known for their informality, it is still safer to dress on the side of conservatism than informality.
Remember that first impressions are quite important and a positive first
impression can get the interview off to a good start.
What’s the real answer? Call the company and ask about the expected dress at interviews. If you know
someone who works at the company, ask her. Otherwise, someone in the human resources department
would be more than happy to tell you.
