Wondering what to wear to your next job interview?

Here are some tips to determine the right look for a specific company interview: ask the interviewer or recruiter what the dress code is — e.g. smart business casual vs. business casual vs. business professional attire vs. creative dress — and consider asking for examples if you’re not clear on what to expect. Also consider that, within the organization, the department the job is in, the level of the role and the culture all play a part in determining what’s appropriate to wear.
