As for the color of suits, my attitude right now is that you've got to
do something that makes you stand out from the crowd...there are
hundresd of peoel interviewing. I've interviewed in a fire-engine red
suit (and gotten a job offer), a dark green suit, a light green suit,
and a wool blackwatch plaid (it may be culturally more acceptable for
women to have such a variety of suits...). I think that in general,
you just need to look and act professional. My experience has been
with interviewing with computer companies like IBM, Digital, Wang,
Data General, and pharmaceuticals co.s like Ciba Corning.
