This week we learn what clothing to wear to a job interview. My guests Betsy Fisher and Christina Pham share their best tips for men and women. Listen to this to learn how to dress to get hired.

Betsy opened her boutique, Betsy Fisher Inc.,  in 1988 because she couldn’t find an interview suit. As a new college graduate, she was not interested in the big-shouldered suits with floppy bow ties than in style. Her husband Lyle joined the business in 1994, and their two daughters, now 20 and 17, claim the back room of their Dupont Circle store as their primary residence.

Christina is a Style Advisor at Knot Standard, and was previously with Blank Label, an award-winning custom clothing company with locations in D.C., Boston, and Chicago. As someone that is passionate about menswear and tailored clothing, she believes in the transformative power of what you wear and how you wear it.
