very excellent response (and question) all of these are good tips. My tip; if
your going to a business then you should look and act "business" that means a
suit. Even if people dress down while on the job, the interview is a bit
different. That doesnt mean you have to "act" stuffy but you can easily tailor
a suit to the type of business yet still wear a suit. It all really depends on
the type of company but I would still wear some type of suit regardless.

The suit should be tailored correctly and your shirt should be pressed. Your
shoes should be polished.> > > > DO NOT tailor your suit so your watch shows.
Your watch should only be seen when you are checking it for the time. Your
jacket sleeve should stop 4" from the tip of your thumb when you arm is
resting at your side.> > > >
