Your choice of apparel should be a step above the
companys dress policy to ensure that you make a
good impression.

Men should wear a suit, regardless of the dress
code of the company. They can always remove the
jacket if it seems too formal.

Women should wear a skirt or dress of modest
length and neckline.

Adding a blazer can provide more formality.
Taking the blazer off can make it less formal.

their Facebook and other social media pages.

Scour up some recent press releases on whats
going on at the company. Look up news stories in
