dress

Personnel managers have little to go on other than what you present to them. Smile, be friendly, and give the interviewer a firm but not a bone-breaking handshake.

Most places I’ve worked, in the past 40 years or so, had some guidelines regarding what was, and was not, acceptable workplace attire.

You don’t necessarily have to dress like you stopped off for the interview on your way to a funeral. I had a hard and fast rule, that employee’s dressed one step up from the customers.
