It's important to "look the part" as you interview for your first job out of University, and
for successive positions as you advance in your career. To land the job you really want,
consider the following pointers:

Make the best first impression. From the moment that you step inside the place of
employment, all eyes will be on you.  Everyone you speak with, including the receptionist,
will draw some opinion of you based on how you dress and carry yourself. The interviewer, especially, will make a quick assesment as to how well you will fit in with the group based
on your attire, grooming and personal presentation.

You have one chance to make a good impression—so don't blow it! Corporate employers are impressed with tasteful and conservative clothing and grooming. What does this mean in practical terms? For men, the rule of thumb is to wear a well-pressed, two-piece dark suit  (navy or charcoal, preferably) made with a nice fabric such as blended wool.

Coordinate this with a long-sleeved, buttoned-down, white cotton shirt (polyester blends are out) and a colorful silk tie that is not too flashy. Well-shined black shoes and matching leather belt enhance the overall look.

Women have more flexibility in what to wear to impress an interviewer. Although a traditional two-piece business suit is always a safe bet, wearing a conservative business dress with tasteful accessories can also serve the purpose well. Dark solids are more appropriate than pastels or prints (unless you're interviewing for a job in the leisure travel business). Accenting the basic attire with a colorful belt or scarf adds the right touch. The tips mentioned above constitute the standard advice offered by placement officials and fashion consultants. It should be understood though, that the rules for dressing for success are flexible, depending upon the circumstances. For example: A student interviewing for a hotel position in the Bahamas might create a more favorable impression by wearing a light-weight beige suit than sporting a navy pinstripe suit that conveys the "City Exutive"
look.
