Part 2 – Dress Code

Jamie Scarborough
Posted on September 7, 2011 by Jamie Scarborough
  1. In the entire history of Sales Talent Agency we have NEVER had a client reject a candidate because they were “over-dressed”, but have had lots of candidates rejected because they were too casually dressed. You should be going for a clean, professional look—every time!
  2. No matter what the role or the company (blue-collar, white collar or trendy ad agency), you should always wear a suit (or equivalent) to an interview
  3. Make sure your clothes are pressed, your hair is neat and tidy, your fingernails are spotless, there is nothing between your teeth, you are clean shaven and your breath is fresh
  4. DO NOT WEAR perfume or cologne—no matter how many people have told you how great it smells on you! It can be extremely distracting to certain people and especially in small office spaces. You should look and smell clean. That means no sweat, no cigarettes, no perfumes. NO EXCEPTIONS

My first job was selling carpet and rugs on my uncle’s market stall in East London (England). I was 14 and it was always cold and wet out. I loved it. . . .
