Dress to impress
Remember you want to look smart at job interviews, not sexy or scruffy!
Article by : SpunOut.ie
Dressing to impress is a must for any job interview. What you wear should make you look like you're the right person for the job (so if everybody in the office is dressed in smart suits then you should be too!).
- If you're not sure what to wear to the interview, then dress smartly and sensibly. Forget denim, sports clothes or shoes, casual clothes or club wear.
- Even if you won't need to wear a suit in the job, it's best to dress up for the interview. Get the job first, and then you can let your own fashion sense show through as much as you dare!
- Make sure your hair is clean and tidy, shoes are polished and that everything you wear matches well together.
- Think about whether you should take out any visible piercings (often not seen as professional).
- For guys, dressing smartly means a traditional, dark suit and a long-sleeved shirt. Make sure that there are no wrinkles or creases in either the suit or shirt. Avoid flashy ties or your favourite Simpsons' tie!
- For girls, dressing smartly also means a suit. A matching jacket with trousers or a skirt and coloured blouse or top usually looks good. Avoid short skirts, looking like a fashion victim, wearing loads of make up or wearing flashy jewellery. You want them to listen to you not stare at your sparkly green eye shadow!
- Make sure what you wear is clean and ironed.
