Dress for Success Interview Tips The best advice anybody can give you is that you should dress one or two levels better than the job you're gunning for.

  • For management or professional positions. A suit, tie, and dress shoes is smart for men. A formal pant suit is suitable for women because you don't have to worry about proper dress length or whether to wear stockings or not. In this situation, you should keep jewelry to the bare minimum and wear shoes with basic heels.
  • For clerical or trade positions. Men should wear dress pants or Dockers with a nice long sleeve shirt with collar, dress shoes and an optional tie. Women should dress casual or with a dressy pants, blouse or sweater.
