There are plenty of things that’ll keep you preoccupied when preparing for a job interview: Dutifully studying up on the company you’re interviewing with; getting your resume ready and printed out; preparing quality questions to ask your interviewer; planning your commute for getting to the interview early; and practicing for those tricky open-ended interview questions.
But figuring out what you should wear to your interview is an important step, too. It gives a first impression to the employer and sets the tone of the interview.
We hope that the tips below will help you make your best impression on the day of your very first interview!
GROOMING: Your hair should be cut quite short, and you should be clean shaven, or have neatly trimmed facial hair.
ACCESSORIES: There should be little to no jewelry, no cologne, and all tattoos should be completely covered.
ATTIRE: Business Professional attire includes a three piece suit, cuff links, a tie clip and polished dress shoes.
Business Casual attire includes dress pants, a button up shirt with matching tie, sport coat, and dress shoes. (Polo t-shirts and slacks are off-limits for interviews.)
WOMENS
GROOMING: Your hair should be pulled back hair if it’s long, or neatly styled if short; either way it should be out of your face.
ACCESSORIES: When it comes to jewelry and perfume, less is more! (They shouldn’t smell you before they see you.) All tattoos should be covered, as well. Handbags should be professional and non-distracting.
ATTIRE:Business Professional attire includesa suit with closed-toe shoes. Hem lines should be no shorter than the knee and necklines should cover the chest. Wearing clothes that are too revealing can make potential customers or employers perceive you in the wrong way.
Business Casual attire includes a non-revealing blouse, dress pants, and closed toe shoes. No jeans, sneakers, flip-flops, or plunging necklines!
