Are you suited up for the upcoming career fair? Are you in need of professional attire? While preparing for an interview, a well-written resume and experiences are not enough, you should dress the part to get the part. Students applying for jobs, internships, and Co-Ops, need to dress professionally to be taken seriously at their interview. The way you present yourself in your interview sets the stage for how your interview will go. First impressions are very important and dressing in a professional manner helps improve the way the interviewer sees you.
