What Should I Wear To A Job Interview?

Resume, cover letter and telephonic conversation; all done! Now it’s time to go and meet the HR officials. Yes, it can be a moment of panic when you have thousands of work related things to worry about, and on top of that you have to figure out what to wear to the interview…

First Impression Is The Last Impression!

In case of interviews it definitely is, since one bad impression might just cost you your job. Before selecting a dress you need to sit down for a few minutes and just understand the kind of job you have applied for, the corporate culture you are likely to encounter and whether it would be appropriate to wear branded clothes or not.

Select Your Dress According To The Position

For the post of bar attendant at a coffee shop obviously you won’t suit up, but for a managerial job in a multinational firm you definitely should! You need to dress up professionally no matter what, because you should not only look good but GREAT! But the degree of formality of your dress will differ from place to place. Keep this difference in mind and you’re good to go. If you’re still not sure as to how you could go about it, you can always contact me and I’ll be more than happy to help you out.

Some Outfit Ideas

• Black Is For Formal Wear!

  Black dress pants add elegance, so investing your money in a pair of black slack pants would enhance your look. Go for a blazer or a button down shirt in white with black pants. If you want to go for a causal business look then find a heather grey sweater. It will give you a formal yet unique look. Choose moderate heels instead of high heels as they are tasteful and comfortable.

• Knee Skirts and Blazer

  With three simple pieces you can pull off a great interview look. A black or khaki knee-length skirt, white button down shirt with a navy blue blazer is all that you need. A blazer can later be used for various occasions as you can mix and match it with other casual dress.

• Statement Dress:

  Experimenting with colors is always fun but when it comes to interviews, you’re best off going for sober colors instead of funky ones. Limit the color tones to grey, turquoise, brown or deep red for a statement piece.

  You can even go for accessories, like a short length pearl necklace or a delicate bracelet. However, it’s best to be on the safe side because in formal interviews modest dresses would do fine.

Here’s wishing all you girls good luck, and hoping you manage to bag your dream job!
