What should you wear for Interview
When you are dressing for a job interview, image really is important. The image you present to a potential employer is the first thing they are going to notice about you – before you even have a chance to say a word or shake a hand. When I asked about the worst interview outfits, I was a bit amazed at what people wear – and don’t wear – to job interviews. By the way, a suit even made the list, from the overdressed for the company perspective.
What you wear counts right down to, for women, your pantyhose. I received more feedback than I ever imagined when I asked whether you should wear pantyhose to an interview. To take it a step further, everything you wear matters, regardless of your gender. Nobody, in a professional setting, wants to see your your underwear. And that really does mean nobody. It shouldn’t show.
It’s important to know how not to dress for an interview and how you should dress for an interview, because that first impression really does make a big difference in whether you get considered for a second interview or a job offer.
Also, before you go, brush up your interviewing skills and review the standard interview questions that you’ll be asked.
