Always dress professionally for an interview (no shorts or athleisure wear, please), whether that is an interview with a recruiting agency (this meeting is a real interview folks!) or a company. We advise dressing professionally appropriate for the position you are applying for. If applying for a warehouse type of job, there is no need to wear a three-piece suit. Wearing business casual, neat pants and a shirt is completely acceptable. If you are applying for a more professional role, then certainly dress the part (a suit or business professional clothing). Make sure there are no wrinkles, holes or stains on your clothing and that it fits properly. And please don’t use perfume. Some people have allergies and are very sensitive to fragrances.
