Artists can easily express their personality even within strict dress codes. Try it out at the Career Expo on 3/30!
San Francisco dress codes are noticeably more relaxed, but artists can still use their business casual attire to express their personalities without violating the more traditional or conservative dress code policies at a place of employment that is less artistically oriented. Most companies have a detailed employee dress code. If a company upholds business-casual dress yet it’s unclear what business casual entails, take cues from the current employees. What are they wearing? Also, consider the type of job and the type of interaction that position requires with company clients and customers. What will a particular outfit say about that company? TIP: Wh en u n certai n ab ou t h ow to d ress for a n ew j ob , ai m for on e n otch ab ove th e comp an y’s stated d ress cod e p ol i cy. Even if a company’s dress code policy is business casual, always dress to impress when going for a job interview or internship. The same holds true for meetings with a potential business client and other conferences or meetings. It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed, and making the best impression first is crucial.
DOs & DON'Ts
Wear clean, wrinkle-free clothes with no loose threads Avoid sweat stains, cleavage, or any flashy or distracting jewelry or accessories. Only wear jeans if you’ve been given permission (after being hired) Avoid wearing sneakers, worn shoes, or old clothes
