How to Dress for Your Internship or Job Interview

This is a 3-part series on How to Dress for Your Internship or Job Interview

So… what should I wear?

Is your internship with a hoodie culture of the Silicon Valley start-up world or is it with a Wall Street investment firm? Many companies are relaxing their dress codes.  But a lot of industries, such as finance and law, expect you to be on your suit A-game when you come in for an interview.

Do your homework.
