The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first judgment an interviewer makes is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing. That's why it's always important to dress professionally for a job interview, even if the work environment is casual.
What's the appropriate dress code for an interview? You'll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but, a great one. The candidate dressed in a suit and tie is going to make a much better impression than the candidate dressed in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt.
Whether you are applying at McDonald's or are applying for an office position, you want to pick out clothes that flatter you personally and present you in a professional way that fits with the dress code of the company. Make sure your clothes fit right and are stain, lint, and wrinkle free.
