How to dress in sales interview?

Over 78% of hiring managers say that your choice of a skirted suit or a pants suit has no effect on their hiring decision. About a third of hiring managers prefer female candidates to wear a skirted suit (the rest have no preference), but the vast majority of comments indicated that they just want candidates to look professional and be comfortable in their clothes so that they're not adjusting or fidgeting. (And a skirt that's too short is always worse than a pants suit.)

it's sales, show some cleavage. people don't like short skirts only if your legs are busted.

More is good, all is better
