Dress For Success

What you wear says a LOT about who you are! The first impression you give an employer can make or break your
chances of getting hired. Applying for a teen part-time or summer, non-professional, job is a little different from
applying for a full-time professional position. Dress should be, at the least, neat and tidy. Business casual is usually
appropriate. For example, khakis and a neat tucked in polo shirt would work well. Your shoes should be moderate and
you should avoid extreme hairstyles or colors. Also, keep makeup and perfume to a minimum. No jeans or shorts, no
tank tops, crop tops, or anything especially low cut (shirt or pants) or too short (skirt or blouse) - keeping everything
professional is a must.

Assignment:

Create an online poster using MS Word or PP and build a male and female outfit that you would consider a bad example
of what to wear on an interview. Also, build a male and female outfit that you would consider a good example. Include
a top, bottom, shoes, and accessories (jewelry/watch, etc) for each example.

Include Professional Dress as the Title of the Poster and make sure to label the outfits appropriately. Include your
names on the poster as well.

Create a text box for each article of clothing explaining why it is or is not appropriate to wear on an interview.
