Tips and Tricks
Princeton University’s Career Services makes a distinction between business casual and professional attire:
“this is not casual in the way you may expect….jeans and sneakers do not generally apply. The key is to maintain a professional presence, even if you’re not in a suit or tie. Remember, you represent your organization, so you want to make an effort, no matter what day of the week.”
- First Day Jitters: Dress more formally, and observe your peers, which can help you decode your office. Your goal is to show ambition and be aware. Don’t overdress to intimidate.
- For her: Blouses with slacks or skirts, dresses (just above the knee), and conservative footwear. Keep accessories simple – make your accessory your statement piece.
- For him: Dress pants, a collared shirt, a belt and shoes. Blazers, sweaters, nice jackets.
- For everyone: During the interview, look at how the interviewer is dressed. Watch the employees and identify what the standard seems to be.
- Avoid jeans until you’re certain when they are acceptable…which can range from Fridays-only to never. This is not an area in which to be a trailblazer.
- Trendier clothes may be ok, within reason, but take cues from others. When in doubt, ask.
- Makeup needs to be simple. Less is more, unless you’re in the film/entertainment industry where certain standards are different.
