Career Advice Dressing for the Job Interview by Jane Harvey, CareerBuilder.com Your resume worked and now you have an appointment for the all important job interview. You have done your homework. You are confident that you can answer anything the interviewer throws at you. Finally, the big day arrives and the final important choice must be made. What should you wear? It is no secret that how you look has everything to do with the first impression you make. A first impression is made in the first 27 seconds. If you are too formal in your appearance, you might give the impression of being rigid and stuffy. If you are too casual, you may send the signal that you do not take the interview or the job very seriously. Begin by talking to employees of your potential new employer and find out what the dress code is and how seriously management takes it. If you can't find out this information, you should choose clothing that is professional in the impression it gives. If you do not already own clothing that will work on an interview, you should go to a store where you can get good advice from the sales person. Be prepared to have the clothes tailored. No human being completely fits in clothes that are off the rack. To make the best impression the clothes must be altered to fit and accent your best features. The following ideas can never be neglected:
You should regularly add pieces made of high quality, long
wearing fabrics. It is best to buy separates that you can mix and match with the
pieces that you already own. Each piece you buy adds to the variety of looks you
can achieve. You may ask why this is important? The reason is that even after
you have the job you sought, you might like to be considered for advancement and
promotion. The impression you leave on the job every day will be added to your
performance when the boss looks around for someone to promote.
