I interview people for a company that's pretty relaxed. Typically we interview in whatever casual clothes fit the climate. In summer, shorts and sandals are fairly typical. That said, our company is a at the top of the heap in our industry. 100% of the time the applicant is most professionally dressed in the office.
I'm putting all of this in to illustrate that whether you work in a law firm or a skateboard manufacturer all employers are looking for the same thing- someone who fits the company.
Those before me have said important things, I'd like to offer a few other things:
-Do a little research on the company so you can construct a more applicable resume
-Don't worry about including your hobbies or interests. If we're interested, we'll ask you in the interview
-References are not necessary either. Again, if needed you'll be asked.
Zotz brought up and excellent addition with the follow up thank you letter. Be sure to do this, and promptly. Make sure you take the time to get the names of those that spoke to you.
