I am not suggesting that you rush out to buy a whole new wardrobe, but that you must be able to put together an adequate interview outfit. For a man, a clean, conservative two-piece suit, white dress shirt and simple tie is the basic corporate wardrobe. Women should either wear a relatively conservative dress or a suit. In traditionally more conservative industries, such as investment banking, a suit is a safer bet than a dress. Remember, top personal grooming is more important than finding the perfect outfit.
Careful grooming indicates both thoroughness and self-confidence.
