Dress for the Job You Want

A lot of times we look at our closets and think "What should I wear for work today?" or "Is this appropriate for this interview?" Well what we fail to realize is that what may be accepted in our eyes, is not accepted in the eyes of a professional. Here I will tell what to wear for your job or for future jobs to come.

Men's fashion:

Solid color button down shirts(black, blue brown and gray)
Solid color ties (no Bow ties)
Black, gray or blue pants are accpeted
Black or brown dress shoes
*all clothes must be ironed

Women:

Blouses and button downs shirts
Dresses and skirts minimal knee length
Black, gray or blue pants are accepted
Solid color flats or heels are accepted as well
*all clothes must be ironed

Absolutely no  jeans, sneakers or shorts are allowed to be worn, hair and nails must be work appropriate, and offensive tattoos can not be shown on display.



Both of these are prime examples of what to wear the next time you look at your closet and get a brain freeze on what to wear.

DEI & The Workplace

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), is a broad term that covers the issues of equality in the United States. It existed throughout the years, trying to advocate for equality amongst individuals regardless of their race, sex, or religion. Thi helps foster respect and equality in every sector of the society, ensuring that as long as a person is a citizen of the United States, they are allowed to receive the same benefits as others.

You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible.

When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
