Your resume is an important part of the job application process, but don't forget the importance of the job interview and that vital first impression. When dressing for an interview, be sure to follow these guidelines to help you rise above the competition: Wear A Conservative Suit: No matter what position you are applying for, wearing a suit sends your potential employer the message that you are serious about the position. Accessorize Wisely: Keep your jewelry simple -- nothing flashy or super trendy. Cut the Cleavage: Choose conservative cut shirts and blouses and make sure you are buttoned up appropriately -- you are showing off your brain not your breasts. Wear Appropriate Shoes: Closed toe conservative shoes are best -- save the red stilettos for a night out on the town. Leave Your Purse At Home: Opt for a briefcase or laptop bag to not only complete the business look, but also keep extra copies of references and resumes neat and easily accessible. (SheKnows.com)
