Prior to the Career Day
Plan to wear a professional outfit - first impressions are critical and lasting
Do not wear jeans, t-shirts, wrinkled clothes, sneakers or hats.
Employers strongly discourage mini skirts, tank/halter/sleeveless tops, low cut or tight fitting shirts, facial or tongue piercings, and visible tattoos.
Women - wear a suit, pants suit, blazer with skirt or dress, conservative color, no heavy jewelry or perfume.
Men - wear a suit, jacket & tie with slacks, conservative color, no heavy cologne or after-shave.
Prepare plenty of copies of your resume - more than you think you'll need
Have an attractive resume on good quality paper, using bold, underline, and bullets; we strongly suggest white or other neutral-color paper.
Check carefully for typos, spelling and grammar errors.
Have it critiqued at Career Services.
Keep them in a folder or portfolio at the event. Do not bring them to the career day on a disk.
