Dress for Success at Student Employment Job Fair

These tips apply specifically to the Student Employment Job Fair.

  • Suits are acceptable for Student Employment Job Fair although they are not required. One advantage of a suit is that it can make an interviewee stand out from the crowd. A khaki or light suit would be appropriate for the Student Employment Job Fair.
  • Business casual or country club style are acceptable for Student Employment Job Fair. For men, that means dark or khaki, long, sport pants, belted, with a light shirt and tie, or a golf or polo shirt. For women, a knee length skirt, dress, or slack ensemble of a comfortable but conservative cut.
  • Close toed shoes are strongly recommended. Do not wear flip flops.
  • No midriff-baring or back-baring tops for women.
  • No tank tops or muscle shirts for men.
  • Hair should be well cut, freshly brushed, and conservative in styling.
  • In your dress, you demonstrate self-respect and your seriousness about the interview opportunity. You are also showing your ability to dress and act appropriately in social and business situations. You are demonstrating that you are ready for and want to work in a professional environment.

A different dress code applies to co-op and internship interviewing, as well as to interviewing for career employment. For those tips, read the Appropriate Dress portion of Job Search Readiness.
