Look your best at your next job interview
When you go to a job interview, you
want to convey that you are professional and ready to go to work. That
doesn't mean you always have to wear a formal business suit, but it
does mean that you should always look your best.
When choosing your outfit, follow these
guidelines to make the best impression:
-
Wear
clean, neatly pressed clothes.
-
Avoid
anything tight-fitting or clingy.
-
Select
a dress or skirt that is no
more than two inches above your knee.
-
Select
pants that are the appropriate length. Your pants
should cover the ankle,
but not drag under the heel of your shoes.
-
Select a
tie that, when knotted, reaches the middle of your belt
buckle.
-
Clean
and polish your shoes. Before your interview,
double-check that they are free of mud, debris, and
scuffs.
-
Avoid too
much jewelry and too many accessories.
-
Remember
that it is usually better to be over- dressed, rather than
too casual, when you go to an interview.
|
Clothing is not the only aspect of
appearance that is important; it is equally vital that you be clean
and well groomed:
- Take a
shower or bath.
- Avoid
fragrances entirely.
- Brush your
hair and teeth.
- Clean your
fingernails.
- Avoid
alcohol, onions and garlic, both that day and the day
before.
