		<description>Even though it feels like a splurge when it is not in your budget, I think this falls into the investment category.  I recently had a number of items dry cleaned so I had more interview/professional items in &quot;ready&quot; status for interviews and professional networking opportunities.  I could have just as easily just bought a kit and freshened them up at home, but I wanted to make the best possible impression.  And, I hate to iron!  LOL  Good luck on your interview!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been on both sides of the interview process.  If the interview is important to you, I think you made a good decision.  It will help you feel more confident and the interviewer will know you are taking the opportunity seriously.

I don&#039;t remember the name of it, but I found a good book about interviews at the library several years ago.  It lists questions you might be asked and how to (and how not to) respond. I don&#039;t think fast on my feet - especially when I&#039;m nervous - so I found it very helpful.

FYI - I checked out the book because it was going to be my first time conducting an interview.  I didn&#039;t know what to ask, and I was nervous.  It is often awkward or at the very least and inconvenience for the interviewer.  If you can help put the interviewer at ease right off the bat, that would put you way ahead of the game.

Wishing you the best!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll be thinking happy thoughts for you on Monday.  I&#039;d get the suit, if you end up not needing it again, you can always re-sell it on Craig;s list or someplace like that. My local consignment shop does a split on clothes sales as well.</description>

		<description>Good luck on your interview!

Yes, I think clothing is very important for an interview for reasons of appearance and feeling good about yourself. I think your suit and blouse is a great investment. Even if you don&#039;t get this job, you will have it for other interviews/work situations.

For clothing, I tend to buy classic items that never go out of style - black dress shoes, solid color shirts (blur, white), solid color pants (black, dark gray), etc. Depending on how much you need to dress up for work, you can add in khakis, sweaters, polos, etc.

Of course, I&#039;m sure a few things are different for women, but the basics are the same.

Thanks for the link. :)</description>
