- Plain dark or pinstripe suit accompanied by a white, ivory, beige, soft blue or champagne shirt, a coordinated tie, dark socks and shoes (at least as dark as the suit).
- Body piercing should be removed if possible, tattoos should be covered.
- Cufflinks, a good quality watch and wedding or engagement rings should be your only accessories.
- Remember to carry a portfolio or professional briefcase.
- Make sure your nails are trimmed, the hairstyle is neat and breath is fresh.

Thanks for the great tips! I recall reading somewhere that for an interview, especially, I should remember to button my suit when standing up and open when sitting, do you agree?
Hello Douglas!
You are absolutely right, that’s the proper way to handle the buttons.
A jacket should always remain buttoned until a person sits, when it is necessary to unfasten the jacket. When the person stands again, the suit should be refastened.
Thank you for pointing this out!:)
yes can u send that to the email up above please and thank you
