Don't dress to impress

"What can I wear to impress my interviewer?"  This thought runs through virtually every candidate's head the morning of their interview.  "Do I look better with the red shirt, white tie, or white shirt, red tie?"

Zig Ziglar, a motivational speaker suggest differently.  He believes that you should dress averagely so that you DO NOT stick out.  Flashy clothes calls attention to your outfit, and not your attributes or qualifications.  Which would you prefer?

Instead, wear something forgettable.  If, after you left, the interviewer can describe extremely accurately what you wore, you dressed incorrectly.
