Guidelines and reactions on how to dress are always eye opening. I remember reading some advice for academic job interviews. For men, it was essentially remember to wear clothing, don't dress like an investment banker, and you'll be fine.

For women, it was paragraphs long. Too feminine and they'll mistake you for a departmental secretary. Too youthful and they'll dismiss you as a student. Too severe and you're "not collegial". Too approachable and you're not serious. The whole thing was just a minefield.
