It is important to make a good first impression to the hiring manager even if the job position is at a company or office with a casual dress code. You still have to look polished and professional. Don't show up wearing jeans, sneakers, shorts, miniskirts, ripped pants, sandals or flip-flops or any other casual outfit.

Dress up properly to look neat and elegant and choose well-fitting clothes, free of stains and wrinkles. Wear things that will make you feel good and comfortable. Remember that when you look good, you feel good, you do good!!!
