The other day I was talking to a UCSB student about an upcoming campus career fair. She wondered if she needed to wear nice pants or a skirt instead of jeans to the fair. She also wanted to know if sneakers would be okay. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and slip into my lecture mode. Instead, I suggested she treat the day as an excellent opportunity to don some career-appropriate clothing. I have heard from more than one student that dressing professionally at the fair helped them secure a job or internship.
