DRESS CODE
Business Casual
We ask for candidates to dress business casual during rounds.
What this means: Neat and appropriate office wear.
EXAMPLE:
-
If you dress more masculine, it would be a button-down or sweater and solid color shoes.
-
If you dress more feminine, smart casual could be a dress, or any combination of skirts, blouses, button-down shirts, sweaters, and pants.
