5 x9 ]0 Y) z% j! A
! R2 G5 D0 w8 M; V* H+ G, lTrue -- The employer must be able to visualize you working on the job. If interviewing for a higher level job, dress similar to those already working at this level.
4 A; e. y, s; R" |. B
False -- Many people are allergic to any scent. If you must wear perfume or after-shave, be sure it is a very small amount.
5 O- N, V9 }5 q& K
False Conservative hair styles work best - extreme hair styles may not be acceptable to the interviewer. If you decide to wear one, be prepared for possible rejection.
( {/ h7 J6 V) T
False -- Most employers prefer a clean-shaven face, although this varies by locality. If you must have a beard or moustache, make sure that it is clean and trimmed.

False -- Carry a briefcase only if it contains important papers you will need during the interview.
