How to Dress for a Job Interview Kate Peskor  |
| |
 Do you have an important job interview coming up? Make sure you put your best foot forward and give your best first impression! Here are some tips on what to wear to a job interview.
It’s important to dress appropriately for the interview, always remember to dress conservative as possible. Everything from your hair, to your nails, to your footwear should be given careful attention to; you never know what an employer is thinking.
Keep your hair neatly groomed and cut at an appropriate length. This will reduce any hair mishaps before or during the interview. Also, prepare for the weather. If it’s raining out, this will affect the way your hair looks and acts. To prevent this, check the weather before you head out the door. Or bring an umbrella just in case.
If necessary, get a manicure before your interview. If you are not into nail salons, a little attention to your nails will do. Always choose clear or neutral polish colors. Never go to an interview with black, hot pink or orange nails. This will show your immaturity and lack of professionalism.
When wearing makeup to an interview, remember to keep your look light. Less is more. You want to look polished, not like you’re the star in a Broadway play. Natural tones and shades will earn the respect of your interviewer and show them you are serious about this job.
When it comes to interview attire both men and women can heed the same advice; wear a business suit. While this may be easier for men, if you cannot find a good suit for your shape then a dress shirt and dress pants will work instead. Make sure, though, that your shirt and pants are conservatively colored, like black or dark navy.
Men and women should both plan on wearing dress shoes that match your outfit to the interview. Men should make sure to polish their shoes if need be. Women should wear heels or a shoe with a little lift if heels are not possible. Walking comfortably should be taken into consideration when presenting yourself to your potential employer.
