Grooming tips for men and women

Hair: Should be clean and neat. Shoes: Should be in polished condition. Make sure heels are not worn. Details: No missing buttons, no lint; and don’t forget to remove external tags and tacking stitches from new clothes. Hands: Clean fingernails. Fit: Clothes should be clean, neatly pressed, and fit properly, neither tight nor baggy. Smell: Perfume or cologne should be used sparingly or not at all. No odors on clothes. Don't smell like smoke. Padfolios: Preferred over a bulky briefcase. A small briefcase is also appropriate, but if you have no reason to carry a briefcase, don't; you risk looking silly. Bookbags: Appropriate to carry to an information session held on campus (after all, you are a student). For career fairs and job fairs, bookbags are generally checked at the door, and you should carry a padfolio only. Don't carry a bookbag to an event held at a hotel.
