What shouldI wear?

You think looks are not important but the hiring manager will judge you based on how you dressed for the interview. Before the inter-view, research the company dress code.

As a general rule, your clothes should fit the company culture. Medium to large companies prefer formal, professional-looking clothes, while some smaller ones don’t require it. Avoid coming overdressed. Startups, marketing, programming, and designer jobs usually don’t ex-pect formal clothing at interviews. You might even look a bit like a dork if you knock on their door wearing a suit. For corporate, banking, legal, public policy jobs and the like, jeans, sneakers or t-shirts are completely out of question.

One final tip: Before your interview, have a good night’s sleep and leave your home about half an hour early so you’re not late.
