How
to Dress for Your Interview |
Even though most businesses
have adopted a casual dress code, you still want to impress
a prospective employer on your first interview. After all, that
important first impression—how you look and what you wear—can
help make that crucial first impression. Most experts agree
that you should dress conservatively; most often, you should
wear a suit. Here are some tips on what to avoid and what you
should wear on an interview.
Suits:
You shouldn’t wear a suit with lapels that are too wide
(more than three inches) or too narrow (less than one inch).
For men, a full-body, loose suit is more appropriate than a
fitted one. Women’s skirts should not be more than three
inches above the knee.
Accessories:
Purses, shoes, and other accessories should be conservative.
At the most, wear two rings on each hand and one earring in
each ear. You should not wear face jewelry or ankle bracelets.
Makeup: You shouldn’t wear wild
nail polish or cosmetics for your interview. To make the most
of your first impression, you should be groomed and neat.
Shoes: Wear conservative pumps or dress
shoes.
Colors: Try wearing a conservative
shade of blue or gray. If you wear black, coordinate it with
another color so your look will not be too serious.
Whatever you wear, your interviewer should get the impression
that you are a successful professional who’s ready to
get to work at a new job.
