When looking for a job, and/or preparing for an interview, you must do your homework. In other words, you must do some research, research, and (more) research on the companies you're interested in working for.
The best way to do research on a company is to visit its website. Say you want a job at Coca-Cola, handling their communications and public relations efforts? When you visit Coca-Cola's website, you want to do more than just simply browse around it. You would want to read up on the history of the company, the founder (s), how much money they make in terms of sales, and yes, even if the company has a decent communications, marketing, or PR department.
The (more) research you do, the better your chances of not only finding the right job fits you and your career, but also acing that interview, and eventually getting the position.
Whether you're looking for an entry-level job, or looking to move up within your current company, wearing the right clothing, as well as presenting a proper professional image, is important.
Why? Because when you work in, or at least hope to work, in the public relations or communications industry, the bottom line is, you're representing the company with the clothing you wear. It's not enough to just wear a suit with a jacket to a job interview, wearing the right colors of clothing, such as black or navy blue, could also be critical to whether you even get an entry-level job right out of college, much less move up to a higher position within the company.
So, when you go out there to search for that dream job, if you get a chance, pay a visit to the company, and find out about its dress code, even if means asking for a company handbook.
