Dress to match your internship, career VICTORIA SCROGGINS Staff Reporter @vrms12591 Interviews for internships and jobs can be stressful. However, Missouri State University’s Career Center provides guidance on how to dress for the occasion and day-to-day work attire. Some colleges require more formal dress attire during interviews than others, such as the College of Business. The COB requires traditional or business formal attire. Students should wear dark or neutral clothing with small or no pattern, along with a light colored shirt, according to the Career Center website. They should wear coordinating,
closed-toe shoes, dark socks and a belt. For other colleges, business casual is required. Business casual is less strict on attire but still requires a professional look. “Twill, khakis, or dress pants; jeans with a blazer may be acceptable in the workplace but not in an interview, and necktie and pantyhose are optional,” the Career Center Website states. “There is more variety with shirts, blouses, and collars: knit shirt with collar; button-down shirt with band collars or button collars; solid or patterned shirt.” The website said sweaters are also considered to be business casual. uSee DRESS, page 36
