What to Wear On Your Job Interview
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times… “First impressions are lasting impressions.” In particular, job interviews are the first and hopefully not the last time that the employer sees you. There are many things to keep in mind when preparing your attire for a job interview.
Guys- Don’ts
Sag it! Guys… if you still sag your pants, at least make sure not to do it on an interview. Your pants belong on your waist.
Wear jeans. Jeans are appropriate for school and fun on the weekend, but not for a job interview. Do not wear jeans to you interview… ever. Khakis are a better option.
Visible Tattoo and/or piercings should never be displayed during a business interview. That is unprofessional and may leave the wrong impression with the person interviewing you.
Oversize it. Wear clothes that fit you. Your dress shirt should fit your neck and should be the correct arm and shoulder length.
Guys- Do’s
Leave the wrinkles at home. Let the employer know that you care about the job you are applying for. Take 10 minutes to iron your clothes the night before the interview.
Be modest . Wear colors such as black, navy blue, or beige. These colors will allow the focus to be on you and what you have to say.
The belt should not only fit and hold your pants up, but it should be the right style and color. Don’t wear a belt with a flashy buckle with a business casual attire.
Get approval! I know you may not want to ask your parents or grandparents what you should wear, but they can offer great advice. Think about it... they are probably around the same age as the personal that will be interviewing you.
