The TOP 15 things NOT to wear on an interview

There are many job seekers who still do not know what is appropriate and what is not appropriate to wear in an interview. Often times, something as simple as what you wear can get you passed on for a position.

Here is my list of the TOP 15 things NOT to wear in an interview:

1) Denim! It is never, ever appropriate to wear denim to an interview
2) A short skirt
3) A t-shirt
4) A dress or blouse that shows any sort of cleavage
5) Dangly jewelry (this can distract the person you are interviewing with)
6) Carrying a back-pack or big bulky bag
7) Headphones or sunglasses or a cell phone earpiece
8) Facial or body piercings or visible tattoos, including earrings on men (small earrings are OK for women) or heavy make-up
9) Brightly colored or overly patterned clothing (this includes "Hawaiian Shirts")
10) Long acrylic nails
11) Overly baggy or ill-fitting clothes (it makes you look frumpy)
12) Stained clothes or wrinkled clothes
13) Scuffed shoes or too high of heels if you are a woman or flip flops
14) YOU MUST WEAR SOCKS if you are a man and they MUST match
15) A heavy fragrance or perfume-this can lose you the position
