“The job fair attendees need to realize that a positive first impression is important when talking to potential employers,” said Rushing. “This means that appropriate attire and personal hygiene are essential.

“The career field somewhat determines how a person should dress,” Rushing added, “However, neatness and cleanliness always reflect a more positive image.
