How much thought have you given to your attire before that big interview? Or has your mind been more on what you might be asked, and what your answers would be? Those are important considerations, to be sure, but your clothing can make a very important statement about you. Remember, how you look, the strength of your handshake and eye contact are the first things your prospective new boss will notice, and each is equally important. You have only one chance to make that good first impression, so don't waste it.

Here are four tips for you to consider, in no necessary order of importance:

Fragrance

You may be tempted to follow your normal routine of splashing your favorite cologne or aftershave on after you hop out of the shower. Don't. This is to be avoided, or at least very subdued and subtle.

Stay safe here . . . basic black, dark gray or navy suite, black leather lace-up shoes and a black belt.

Choose a flattering tie that goes well with both suit and shirt, but won't blind the interviewer.
