Dress for Success

The following quotes give us an idea of how the job market views how you dress:

"Achieving career goals is dependent on your ability to make great first impressions on decision makers in your company. It is important to be sure that the way you dress works in your favor! "

Saré Arnold, Regional Recruiting Manager, Enterprise Rent-A-Car

"When you interview for a job or an internship, you are marketing yourself as a professional to your potential employer. First impressions really count, so it is important to wear professional attire and pay attention to your grooming."
Juanita Allen, Recruitment and Outreach Manager
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
