Can you predict the behavior of a job candidate based on the color of their clothes? CareerBuilder recently conducted a survey among employers to determine how they evaluate job candidates based on this criterion.
Conservative colors such as black, blue, gray, and brown create a sense of professionalism in many employers. Other key qualities they discover in the candidate based on their clothing color:
- Black – leadership;
- Blue – team player;
- Gray – logical / analytical thinking;
- White – organized;
- Brown – dependable;
- Red – strength;
- Green, yellow, orange, or purple – creativity.
