Recruiter Opinions about Appearance

• You only get a first impression the first time
  you meet them. So, no matter what kind of
  interview the students are attending, I think
  they should be in professional attire.
• Appearance is just as important as your
  interview responses. This is a big communication
  factor before you even sit down at the table.
• The attire sets the tone of the interview and
  demonstrates to the interviewer that you are
  professional and will represent their company
  well.
