Arriving to an interview dressed professionally is important as it is one of the things potential employers will notice. It demonstrates you are mature, responsible and ready for the interview.
Once you get the job, you'll also want to make sure that you are dressed appropriately for your workday. If not provided a uniform, you'll want to determine what the dress expectation of your company is and meet those expectations.

Consider Some of the Following Dress Components:

• Dress Pants or Khakis

• Skirt or dress

• Polo shirt, button down shirt, sweater or blouse

• Tie and/or blazer

• Shoes that you are comfortable in (now's not the time to wear a brand new pair of shoes or high heels if you never do)

Try to Avoid:

• Shorts

• Athletic Attire

• Hoodies/Sweatshirts

• Too much makeup, perfume or cologne

• Revealing clothing

Need some assistance finding the right clothes for an interview or your new job?

Ms. Sardelli coordinates a "Professional Dress Closet" for all students who may not have access to the clothing they need for their interview and/or employment.  Please reach out to her (sardellik@fortmillschools.org) to arrange a time to visit the closet to pick out some clothing.

The closet is currently under construction, but once it's up and running, students will have a chance to access it!

Sizes and styles may be limited depending on the closet's inventory.
