Wear business-like attire, avoiding flashy colours, bold prints, logos and keep jewellery to a minimum. Wear clothes
in which you feel comfortable and don’t wear skirts that will ride up when you sit. Carry a nice attaché case or folder to hold your resume and examples of your work.
Before you leave home check yourself in a full length mirror and have one last look for rips, runs in stocking (take an extra pair just in case you get a run along the way) and buttons that are about to fall off. A few extra points:
1. Wear a fashionable suit or dressy tailored separates. Make sure they fit well and don’t remove the jacket during the interview.
2. Prepare your clothes for the interview the night before and try it on. Don’t leave anything to chance.
3. If you are not wearing a jacket but choose to wear something more casual long sleeves are a must. Sleeveless garments should not be worn in a work environment and certainly not for an interview.
4. Never go without hosiery and don’t wear sandals.
5. For an interview or business, wear shoes with a closed toe and closed heel and keep them polished without nicked heels or scruffy toes.
6. Pay attention to your hair. A stylish haircut is essential to a professional image.
7. Carry yourself with confidence; stand tall with your shoulders back. Portray a successful image by paying attention to details – tastefully applied makeup, the best garments you can afford and being prepared for the interview.When you are prepared for the interview, which means knowing the job you have applied for, knowing your resume and how you fit that job, your self-confidence will become apparent. Taking care of how you look like give you one less thing to worry about so you can concentrate on selling your skills. DON’T FORGET TO SMILE.Write your abstract here.
