Dress the part: Career fair edition

CAREER FAIRS ARE COMING UP KIDS!

AND in order to be ballin' like my boys up there, you gotta LOOK, DRESS, & ACT the part. In the days leading to my FIRST career fair (Sept.16), I'll be filling you in on some tips with fitting in with corporate standards and remaining sexy while doing so. Good luck on your job/internship search!


LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS/ THE FELLAS: A lot of women say there's nothing sexier than a guy in a suit. And it's true because when he's wearing a good suit, he automatically has that "GQ swagga." He becomes THE FLYEST, SEXIEST, MOST CONFIDENT MAN IN THE ROOM.

Go ahead and wear a business suit. A well fitting one at that - nothing baggy and not too tight. Get it tailored to fit *YOU* properly. If you opt not to, you can wear nice dress slacks and a nice fitting long-sleeved shirt. You don't necessarily have to wear a tie if you're not going with a suit, but if you do, pick a knot-tie. 

AS FAR AS COLORS GO - STICK WITH NEUTRALS. You shouldn't go in YELLOW PANTS/SUIT. Play on the conservative side. Ex. Matching these will never fail: Blues, blacks, grays for pants. Whites, pastels for shirts. Dark tie, and shoes.

*Remember you want to rep not only yourself, but the company too. 
Let them take you seriously. Take yourself seriously, please - don't look like a clown.

AND DON'T FORGET! Wear a belt REGARDLESS SUIT/NOT. Wear polished, dress shoes with dark socks. Make sure you're well-groomed, shower, and no chewing gum!
