KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Our third Workers Wanted Career Fair is Friday. Find out what to wear so you don't get passed over.
We get lots of questions about what you should wear. We have some tips on what to wear to your next job fair or interview.
It can be difficult to determine if you should wear business casual attire or something a little more formal to a job fair. After all, employers from various trades can be there.
If you want some ideas on what to wear, Macy’s offers the following styles.
Take a look at some examples of suggested clothing suitable for the Career Fair.
This is a good suggestion of men's business casual. Think career at the office, but not necessarily a job where you need a tie everyday. This would also work for any blue collar opportunity: It's nice to impress even though you may not be wearing this outfit at the workplace.
