JOB INTERVIEW TIPS

JOB INTERVIEW TIPS

Before you open your mouth, you have already made an impression through your dressing. This is because your appearance is the first thing people notice about you.

Experts say that first impressions are usually formed within the first 30 seconds, so pay lots of thoughts to what you choose to wear for that interview. Whatever you have heard, suits in dark colors are still the safest bet when going for an interview, so please, don’t wear your red leather mini-skirt in the spirit of self expression. The rule of the skirt is that it should not be more than a biro’s length above the knee. As  for trousers, too tight and they will  reveal unpleasant details, such as your crotch. Also, no plunging necklines or body-hugging dresses.

Carry the right props

If you don’t have one, it is time to invest in an a presentable handbag; the backpack you carry your school books with will just not do.

A number of studies have shown that interviewees wearing or carrying renowned high-end brand accessories are likely to get preferential treatment in interviews. Of course that will depend on whether those interviewing will recognize them. In conclusion, if you look great you will feel confident, and it will show.

Go easy on the make-up

An interview is not the place to wear flashy or badly applied make-up. The foundation should match your skin tone, so if your face looks different from the rest of your body, then you did a bad job. Also avoid bright-colored lipstick, since it might distract from what you say. The same goes for nails polish, choose a subdued color, rather than luminous ones, which scream from a mile away
