Cost can be very real issue when a student is trying to piece together a job-interview outfit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe students don\u2019t have money that they can devote to building a professional wardrobe,\u201d Liddell says.<\/p>\n<p>It might be possible, however, to \u201cchip away at it, you can build it over time,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe put aside a little of each paycheck and pick up a shirt or a belt or a nice pair of shoes,\u201d he says. \u201cIt can be very, very overwhelming to drop a good amount of money on three or four business suits and accessories. Most students \u2014 and most folks \u2014 aren\u2019t able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Overall, juniors and seniors seem to have a pretty good idea of what type of clothing is appropriate for a job interview,\u201d Liddell says, but freshmen and sophomores sometimes need a bit of help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think of that as kind of an educational moment where we can say, \u2018To put your best foot forward, we really encourage you to wear a shirt that\u2019s ironed or slacks instead of jeans or closed-toe shoes as opposed to open-toed sandals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a general rule, he says, go conservative when choosing your business attire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA very solid or subtly-patterned suit. Grays, navy, black, those are staples. And that goes to pantsuits or dresses with a jacket for women as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvest a little bit more in shoes. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve always believed in. If you can get a nice, comfortable pair of dress shoes in black or brown, you should spend a little bit extra there. If you\u2019ve got a pair of ill-fitting shoes, you know how bad those can be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wait until you\u2019ve got the job and have spent a little time working with others before you start showing off your personality with purple shirts and screamingly-loud ties. And maybe you shouldn\u2019t ever break those out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s your job as the new member of the team for the organization to kind of hone your style sense. You can show some of your personality, but it\u2019s always important to aim for the conservative, neutral jumping-off point,\u201d Liddell says.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to understand what clothing is right for your chosen career field, he notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor instance, if you\u2019re going to a civil engineer, showing up for an interview in a three-piece suit might not be received the right way,\u201d he says. \u201cBut if you\u2019ve got a nice pair of pants that have been pressed and a nice, solid-color shirt and a blazer or something like that, that absolutely works well. Not everyone necessarily needs to dress like a banker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wait until you\u2019ve got the job and have spent a little time working with others before you start showing off your personality with purple shirts and screamingly-loud ties.<\/p>\n<p>But the one piece of attire that\u2019s absolutely necessary? A \u201cPower C\u201d pin, he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt gets noticed; it really does,\u201d Liddell says.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0If you go What: Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s UTC Suit Up When: 6:30-9:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 21 Where: JCPenney at Hamilton Place Admission: Free, but pre-registration is required at utc.edu\/suitup.
