<p>I would add this thought. It’s not good enough that your son wears a jacket, tie, penny loafers – he needs to look comfortable wearing them. If he keeps playing with his tie, adjusting his jacket sleves or whatever, the impact of the nice clothes is diminished. As we went through this process last year, you could easily spot in the waiting rooms those kids who were not used to wearing jacket and ties. </p>
<p>If you son is someone who has not regularly worn a jacket and tie, I would suggest you make him wear it all day a couple of times before you start your interviews. The most impressive presentation is, I think, a well dressed kid who clearly feels at ease with himself and his clothes.</p>
