Image is everything sometimes (although ideally it shouldn&#8217;t be, we live in a non-ideal world). Suit and tie for guys; suit jacket for gals (dress, skirt, or pants is okay). When I was interviewing, everyone was suited up including the interviewers and staff. Avoid contrasty patterns and avoid loud colors\u2014choose dark conservative colors instead. Don&#8217;t show too much skin. Don&#8217;t wear crazy jewelry (nothing too dangly). Hide large tattoos. Remove piercings. Wear minimal makeup and no scented anything (lotion, perfume). This is a situation where less is more.<\/li><li>Look people in the eye.<\/li><li>Firm handshakes.<\/li><li>Remember peoples&#8217; names.<\/li><li>Don&#8217;t be too loud or boisterous .
