It might be regional, but few women here in SoCalif (except in the legal profession) wear hose anymore, depending on age and the shape of your legs, of course. That said, it couldn't hurt, as long as the hose is the right color.

And make sure the suit fits well! Ill-fitting and tight clothing looks like you don't know how to present yourself... thus how can you make presentations? Invest a few dollars in a tailor and make sure your sleeves/hems are the right length, waist is not too baggy/too tight etc.

And agree... nix the jewelry and perfume.

One more thing (as someone who has interviewed people)... body language is important!

• Make eye contact - be confident

• Keep your chin up and shoulders back - no slouching!

• And... Give a firm handshake! I can't tell you how unimpressed I am by a woman's limp-wristed paw. That body language tells me that they're not really interested nor confident.

Good luck!
