Appropriate dress is as follows:

FOR MEN:

• Two-piece conservative suit in solid color such as blue or grey.

• White shirt with a tie in a plain or simple pattern.

• Polished shoes with socks that match the suit. Remember your belt should match your shoes.


FOR WOMEN:

• Two-piece conservative suit with knee length or longer skirt in a solid color such as blue or grey. Pants are not recommended for interviews unless you have been told they are appropriate.

• White blouse with modest jewelry.

• Polished shoes with plain hosiery. Remember your belt should match your shoes.

• Collared shirt.

• Polished shoes and matching socks.
