The interviewer may judge the applicant's professional skills by personal appearance. Does the applicant dress neatly, have clean fingernails, and have a neat hairstyle? A prospective employer may anticipate the type of employee the graduate nurse will be by observing dress and personal hygiene. Casual or inappropriate clothing (e.g., cocktail party attire) do not fulfill the phrase "dress for success.". It is not necessary to buy new clothing or wear something very dark and conservative.
