All other things being equal, there are a few final differentiators that employers identify as factors that they weigh when deciding between candidates to hire. Personal appearance is one of the top factors. The COC provides sound advice on professional dress for men and women in the job search, however, your guidance can be critical in ensuring that your student looks their best when meeting with a company representative.

Finally, the last factor that employers identified as important to their decision making process is the college that the student graduated from. Certainly your student has made a wise choice in choosing the Missouri University of Science and Technology for their education. The University's statewide and national reputation for educational excellence will speak for your student's skills and abilities after graduation and will contribute to the success that is theirs for the taking.
