During an interview, the choice of clothing is one criterion among others that can earn you points... or lose them.

Candidates and recruiters recount the worst errors of taste they have witnessed. “I saw him arrive in a green jacket and an orange tie with cheesy patterns,” they recount. ‘You don't get two chances to make a good first impression', says one French recruiter. 'I remember putting on a shirt that I had to run in to get to my interview on time,' says another.
