How should I dress for an interview?

You absolutely need to be well groomed and well dressed.  What does that mean?  Well, while this phrase means many things to many people, keep in mind when making your choices that you want to put your best foot forward, and the people looking to hire you are probably going to care a lot about your personal grooming/hygiene.  Realize that these organizations are going to be telling others that you work for them and that you will be representing them with their constituents.  Therefore, the first impression you make will tell them volumes about you, and once again, you want that first impression to be PERFECT!   Be sure to present yourself as well as possible throughout the entire process!  Being well groomed and well dressed will only improve your opportunities for success.
