Skirts can either be long provided it does not create a Cinderella or barn-dance look or short where it falls no shorter than two inches from the knee. Nothing too revealing, please! Panty-hose or stockings: A must for professional grooming, but nothing with overly fussy patterns. Bring an extra pair, just in case the ones you are wearing run. Shoes: Closed shoes or pumps with at least 1½-inch heels suggest a more professional look. Dark colors are best. Hair: Hair longer than shoulder length should be worn up or pulled back. Don't let it fall in front of your face and don't keep trying to fix it during the interview. Avoid large hair ornaments and trendy hairstyles. Make-up: Be subtle; natural is the key word. Light shades of lip coloring and nail polish are recommended. Jewellery: Be conservative. Studs of gold, silver or pearls are best. Do away with gaudy fashion jewelers, and those that clank and make noise when one moves. Accessories: Folders and bags should blend well with the total professional look.
Here it is crucial to concentrate on your goal of getting the job. You are not trying to impress anyone with your distinctiveness or flair. That can come later -- after you get the job. Don't Hesitate to Ask Finally, it never hurts -- and can help a great deal -- to ask during your preliminary phone discussion, "By the way, what should I be wearing? " or "What is your dress code? " If the answer is business casual, which is not likely, take that advice with a grain of salt. You never know if your face-to-face interviewer will have another meeting that day that requires him to be more formally dressed. If that happens and you're dressed more casually, you are immediately at a disadvantage. Better to dress up than down is a good rule. [LINK VISIBLE TO REGISTERED USERS - CLICK HERE TO SEE THIS LINK].
Accessories: again, know your audience. If you are going to an interview a simple necklace, watch/bracelet and earrings combination allows you to add a bit of sparkle without it being too much. Also think about your bag, something practical to hold your documents but a bag can also be used to express your personality. A plain coat with a bright coloured bag adds some fun to your outfit. Pinterest: Pinterest is amazing for finding some good looks for interviews. Do a search on there to get ideas for your own outfit. Be comfortable: Interviews are stressful enough without having a skirt digging in to you or your shoes giving you blisters. Pick an outfit you feel comfortable and confident in, your performance in the actual interview will benefit from you being relaxed in how you look. Good luck to everyone who has important interviews coming up from HCAU xoxo Images:,...
Preparation makes a big difference in how you'd perform in answering this type of questions. Also, before you walk into the interview, think about the different situations that you have gone through, whether it be pledging for a fraternity, completing a project, your part-time job, or any other situation you can think of. This way, when the questions come up, you won't need to come up with the example right then and there. 9. Do not get discouraged After several interviews without an offer, it is easy to get discouraged. However, it is important to remember that all you need is ONE job offer. After all, you have only one body, and therefore will only have time for one full-time job. Having said that, it doesn't mean that you should sit back and continue doing what you have been doing. Perhaps you didn't get to the next round because you weren't prepared? Perhaps you didn't dress properly? Perhaps you were unable to answer some basic questions during the interview? Maybe the companies you've been talking to just do not inspire you, hence your didn't give it your maximum effort?
But stay with what's classic and traditional: navy blazer, gray dress pants, perhaps a blue or subtly striped shirt, and a quiet tie. The location may be different, but the approach is the same. Shirts, Accessories and Grooming For the first interview, a white shirt, not blue or ecru, in a business style is best. Wear a simple shirt collar, such as a traditional straight point or a slightly less dressy button-down, avoiding tab collars, pins or wide English spreads. Also avoid monograms or jaunty contrasting white-collar-and-cuffs. And no French cuffs, which will help you avoid any cufflink mistakes. Above all, go with 100 percent cotton, no blends. The shirt should be as crisp and white as possible. It might even be worth investing in a new shirt. Provided you choose a light shade, you might pair a blue shirt with the gray suit for your second interview. The tie is extremely important, since it is the first thing someone notices in a man's outfit. An all-over, neat pattern, a small dot or a classic stripe all work well.
Think about what happened during the interview, and make sure you rectify whatever that went wrong. Better yet, find someone who is already in the work force to give you a mock interview, and see what the feedback is. Copyright © 2021 All Rights Reserved. Privacy Policy
