After testing people’s thought patterns in relation to the formality of their attire, researchers found that suit-wearers felt more powerful, and this encouraged them to think about the big picture rather than getting hung up on the details.

Absolutely!

It’s a scientific fact that people who don’t know you make up their minds about you on a subliminal/prehistoric basis in 30 seconds or less. This evaluation of you by others takes place so quickly and is so entrenched in the human brain that it is not usually conscious thought.

Behavioral scientists tell us that we notice the following about another human being and in this order: Skin color, Sex, Age, Bearing (height, body language, etc.), Appearance, Direct Eye Contact, and Speech.

The first three we can do nothing about, but we can take advantage of this knowledge to enhance and control how to present the best image of ourselves.

Interview Dress for Men

A solid-color suit in wool or a wool blend, either navy or dark gray, clean and pressed, is appropriate for a job interview. Wear it with a long-sleeved white or light blue shirt and a silk tie in a solid color or small stripe. Wear leather lace-up or slip-on shoes with dark, mid-calf trouser socks that won’t show skin when you sit. Wear a watch, class ring and wedding ring if desired but no other jewelry, and remove earrings and any other visible piercings. Be sure that your hair is neatly trimmed and facial hair is well-groomed. Remember that a comb-over doesn’t fool anyone; a close-cropped cut is becoming to balding men. Fingernails must be clean and trimmed. Avoid strong-smelling after-shave or cologne. Carry a briefcase or portfolio. Even if the job itself would not require a suit, err on the conservative side by wearing a suit to the interview. A less formal approach would be khakis and a dark blazer.
