First, congratulations on landing an interview! Now you have to decide what to wear. As much as we hate to say it, appearance matters and could possibly stand in your way of landing the job. First impressions are everything. And the outfit you choose is the first impression you’re giving the interviewer so you want to pick a good one. Check out these tips about the do's and don'ts of what to wear to your interview.

DO-Dress according to the position.

DON'T-Overdress (in a tuxedo) or under dress (in jeans).

DO-Keep your hair in a neat, clean fashion.

DON'T-Look like a mad scientist.

DO-Wear appropriate shoes.

DON'T-Wear your dancing shoes or sneakers.

DO-Cover up your tattoos.

DON'T-Leave your face piercings in.
