Best Dress

All my life I've heard "dress up." When I was 15 and applying for a job at a wholesale tree farm, I was told to dress up. The same was true for a pizza delivery job, a job as a grocery bagger, a job at the county mosquito abatement, and a job installing fence. It was usually my parents telling me to dress up, and I didn't really believe them, and not just because I was a teenager. I didn't see the need to wear a suit and tie when the jobs I was applying for were largely manual and extremely dirty. However, despite disagreeing with my parents on the subject, I always dressed up, and I always got the job. Now, if it's considered necessary to dress in our finest to apply for a job as a bagger, how much more so for a position in our career choice? Bob Skladany is the chief career counselor for retirementjobs.com, he said,

"What's the appropriate attire? Always dress up, even if someone tells you that the company has a casual dress code...Be well groomed and well dressed. If you had been considering it, now is the time to buy a new suit or outfit. If you look sharp, you'll feel more confident, and you'll impress interviewers"

So, for ourselves, and for the benefit our our potential future employers, we need to look the best we can when going to interviews.
