How to dress up for your interview . . .
1.
Women should avoid heavy makeup or use a perfume that may be too
strong.
2.
Most of us tend to look at
the bigger picture in the
mirror in front of us and
ignore the small things
like shoes and socks.
Make sure you wear
proper shoes and
matching socks. Shoes
should be business style
shoes, neat and clean.
3.
Ensure that your shoes
are polished not only in
the front but also in the
back. Interviewers do look
at you when you turn and
walk out and you don’t
want to leave the impression that you are not meticulous in
your grooming habits.
4.
Don’t wear fancy shoes that stand out on their own. They
should blend in with your clothes. Wearing sports shoes with a
business suit is not what is recommended.
5.
While casual dressing may be the way to go today. Interviews are the one time you should
ignore this advice and dress in a businesslike manner business suit.
6.
Try a business suit even if you are not comfortable with them. Keep your color scheme
neutral, that is don’t wear clothes that you would wear to go out dancing at the disco, that is a
bright red shirt and trousers that make you stand out in the crowd.
7.
A your teeth are clean and use that smile during the
interview. It will show you are relaxed. little research
will tell you what type of clothing is worn by others
working for the same employer if you really are
confused about what to wear. You want to blend in and
not stand out as the odd person out.
8.
Wearing clean and business like attire is useless if you
display poor personal hygiene. Make sure your hair is
sensibly groomed. Men who have long
hair they should make sure it is kept
in place neatly.
9.
Women should remember that
dressing sexy may get you a job in
the movies but in real life many
employers may not want to hire an
overly sexy dresser as they don’t
want the new employee to be a
distraction to their other employees.
10.
Last but not least, make sure your
teeth are clean and use that smile
during the interview. It will show you are relaxed. Chances are you will be
smiling when you walk out.

CHECKS
