| AWC | Posted – 1/7/2008 3:14:15 PM | show profile Always look professional for interviews of any sort -- even if you know the actual office environment is more casual. It gives the impression that you are taking the interview, and your career, seriously. |

| Metro Writer | Posted – 1/8/2008 9:13:19 PM | show profile Dress casually, but look pulled together, not sloppy. No sneakers or flip flops, no matter how casual the dress code is. Make sure your hair is combed and that you're wearing at least some makeup. |
