You have sent out your resume and cover letter to prospective employers and are waiting to hear from them. Don't plan on getting plenty of notice for an interview.
First impressions are very important.
If this is your first job search, there are a few things to keep in mind. You might not intend to wear a suit to manage a car rental location, but during your interview you will be meeting with everyone from mechanics to senior management. They all have a voice in making the decisions on hiring. Navy blue is the color of choice for any interview. Keep accessories to a minimum.
