When meeting a potential boss for the first time, it is essential to make a good first impression.  One of the easiest ways to secure a good first impression is to dress appropriately.  A recent study on the top interviewing mistakes found that 51% of hiring managers reported inappropriate dress.  And while the dress code for positions can vary based on industry, it is always best to go more conservative than less.  Below is a list of proper interview attire:
 
 Men
 •Conservative business suit in navy or gray (avoid black)
 •White long sleeve shirt
 •Conservative tie
 •Dark socks
 •Professional shoes
 
 Women
 •Solid color, conservative suit
 •Dress slacks
 •Mid-length Skirt
 •Conservative blouse
 •Tan or light hosiery
 •Moderate shoes

Be sure to take grooming into consideration as well. Keep hair neat and clean.  Nails should be trimmed.  Go easy on aftershave or perfume.  And, women should only wear limited jewelry.  Leave your purse at home, and bring a briefcase or portfolio with paper and pen instead.  Follow these guidelines, and you will be well on your way to interview success.
