All too often, when going on a job interview or starting an internship for the first time, young adults stress over the tiniest things; for example, a lot of times they think, “But what will I wear?” And while this is a totally normal thing to be confused about, it also has a very simple resolution. Dressing for a professional business endeavor means that you should aim to look polished and presentable – no holes in your pants or tights, no low-dipping tops, no skirts that you wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing around your grandparents. For guys, this one’s pretty simple. A nice suit with a fitted jacket does the trick, just make sure it’s wrinkle-free and you add a nice tie to the ensemble. For girls, you have a few more options. While you could go with a nice, conservative dress or skirt paired with a blouse, the best option (especially for jobs where you’ll be meeting with clients who will expect you to look professional) is to find a nice pantsuit. A few of the examples here demonstrate what I mean by this, and not only does it catch the eye, but it looks sophisticated and helps build confidence so you can nail that interview/internship/client meeting. Another good option is a nice pencil skirt paired with a blouse and a suit jacket, like Veronica did in the following photos. In addition, keep your eyes peeled as Marist Career Services will be hosting an event on November 15 for students to get their photos taken in a professional environment, and in turn students can then use these photos for their LinkedIn profile. Whatever you choose to wear, wear it with confidence and pride. If you’re emanating these feelings, people will notice, and your day will go that much more smoothly.
