An interview is not only a dialogue with an employer about your future job, but also a great way to make a good impression and show your best side. Therefore, the appearance must be thought out to the smallest detail: hairstyle, manicure and, of course, clothing must correspond to the purpose.
You can read below how to dress so that you are well received by your employer.
How to dress to show off your look
Most employers favor an official style, a strict and minimalist appearance.
REFERENCE! For a man this is a suit, shirt, jacket and tie. For a woman - a jacket, skirt or trousers of a classic cut.
Ladies can afford a narrow knee-length skirt and a shirt with three-quarter length sleeves.
If suddenly you don’t have formal business clothes in your wardrobe, you can just dress as discreetly as possible. Remember that first of all you are going to get a job, not to have fun.
There is no need to dress too brightly and provocatively, so as not to distract colleagues from work, causing them a great desire to discuss your appearance.
For men, formal trousers, a shirt and a non-provocative jumper would be appropriate. A woman can wear a discreet fitted dress.
Don't miss the fact that you should feel as comfortable as possible in your clothes. Tight, uncomfortable, skin-irritating clothing will distract from the interview, which your employer will definitely notice.
What errors in the image will lead to refusal at an interview?
Untidy
- First of all, you must look neat. Any inexpensive but well-groomed suit looks better than an expensive one that is wrinkled and dirty.
ADVICE! Avoid wearing clothes that are wrinkled or prone to wrinkles to important business meetings. Check it for stains and iron it well the day before.
You should take a clothes brush and a shoe sponge with you to the office to tidy up your appearance just before the conversation.
Excess costume jewelry
An excess of expensive and simple jewelry will never win you over. You should limit yourself to one or two items. Agree, an abundance of piercings, rings and long beads will turn you into a Christmas tree, and not into an ideal employee represented by the employer.
Style mismatch
Give preference to formal style or minimalism and rigor. Ripped jeans or shorts, a T-shirt and a tracksuit are definitely not clothes for an interview!
Inappropriate color
Avoid bright, acidic colors and flashy prints: leopard print dresses, funny colored ties, eye-catching sweaters and shirts. This is something you definitely need to leave at home.
"Wrong" shoes
Pay attention to the shoes. She must have a closed nose.
IMPORTANT! No matter how wonderful a pedicure you gave yourself the day before, never wear sandals to a formal event.
This rule is mandatory for both the stronger and weaker sex.
Strong perfume
Pay attention to your perfume.
IMPORTANT! In a cramped office environment, a strong odor can be very annoying.
Save this perfume for parties. Use a light, subtle eau de toilette. Or don't wear perfume at all.
Stale look
But you shouldn’t forget about personal hygiene either: take a shower with soap and use an antiperspirant. As a rule, an interview is a very exciting event. And the smell of sweat and wet circles under your arms will clearly ruin the first impression of you.
Good luck with your interview!
