We all get butterflies in the stomach at the mention of an interview. It's not just the interview questions that worry people, what to wear and how to look are the other worries. Being presentable is important, but one should go for a look that conveys that they're serious about the job. Here's a quick guide to what you can wear to an interview and make a great first impression.
Nails There is nothing worse than an old and chipped nailpaint spotted by your interviewer.
It's a small indicator that shows them you may have trouble keeping everything under control. Avoid flashy colours and go for neutral shades. (Read professional.) If you're not a nailpaint person, then make sure your nails are clean and well-shaped.
Wear heels Heels make all the difference to an outfit. It doesn't matter what height you go for.
Wearing heels will give you that extra push towards being that extra push towards b someone who looks like they know their stuff.
However, avoid wearing a pair of stilletoe. Leave them for clubbing. Make sure that your heels are polished; if it's suede, then keep it clean.
It's okay to wear a dress Wearing pants and button down shirts is not the only way to look professional. Feel free to wear a dress or a skirt. However, avoid sleeveless as it can make you look a bit casual. Your dresses or skirts should be an inch or two above your knee.
Anything shorter qualifies as a party dress, anything longer than that needs to be hemmed.
It's better to be over dressed than underdressed If you are unsure about what to wear and how you should be dressed for an interview, make sure you're more dressed up.
This conveys that you are a professional and are serious about the job. Professional businesses pay attention to detail like over or under-sized clothing, if your shirt is tucked in or not, or how you stand out of the crowd.
Wear natural makeup and keep your hair natural Avoid your red lipstick or smokey eyes while going for an interview. Loud makeup is a no-no. Also, trying out a new hair style for the first time is not a good idea, you never know how it's going to turn out. Keep your hair neat, lest you want to come across as a messy person. Think you're meeting your grandmother and put on the makeup accordingly.
