Sales recruitment: Test the water before dressing for an interview
People looking for sales jobs should do their homework on the dress code of a company they are applying to and make sure they do not go over the top, according to one expert.
Steven Rothberg, of CollegeRecruiter.com, told Examiner.com that candidates wanting to make the right impression when going for sales jobs need to get their attire just right.
He said: "Find out what current employees of the workplace at which you're interviewing typically wear and then dress as they do or slightly more formal."
The recruitment expert added that if the dress code is jeans and T-shirts then a candidate should not wear a suit.
Concluding, Mr Rothberg said that it is important jobseekers are not dressed too formally or too informally as a candidate's clothes could end up being a distraction for an interviewer.
Michael Erwin, a senior career adviser for CareerBuilder.com recently told the Charlotte Observer, that sales jobs candidates should ring a company ahead of an interview to make sure they wear the right clothes.
