How to dress for a job interview?

“That’s great! I’ve got an interview for next week with an advisory! Great, but what should I wear? “

The style of dress was, is and will be for a long time a eliminatory factor that conditions the hiring. According to a survey on the physical appearance of candidates in an interview, 79% of respondents believe that it had an influence on the decision of the interviewer.

Keep in mind, however, that  a white shirt and dark-colored pants and shoes would be a good outfit if the company is young and has a fairly informal atmosphere , for example, a startup where everyone is familiar and where the middle age does not. reaches 35 years …

The main thing is to be natural with your clothes: a sober style does not prevent you from giving the impression of being at ease. How to dress for a job interview?
