how_to_dress_for_job_interviews.jpgAlthough presentation isn’t everything, dressing the part plays an important role in making a good first impression during a job interview. FN gives you some pointers for dressing for success.


1. Dress not just to look good, but to look good for the job. Give the casual clothes a rest and invest in corporate wear.

2. When in doubt, overdress instead of underdress. Go with a conservative and professional look to fit in with the corporate setting:
  • Go with solid colors for your outfit like blacks, whites, neutrals and pastels.
  • Keep your hair neat and simple, and your makeup neutral.
  • Wear neutral makeup and don’t overdo the perfume.
  • Keep your nails clean or get a manicure.

3. Come prepared. Here are a few items you should have in your purse:
  • Pen
  • Updated resume
  • Umbrella
  • Makeup
  • Mints
  • Tissue or a handkerchief
  • Comb and hair tie
  • Safety pin

    depends on the position you are applying for,nevertheless it would still be best to wear a business attire, colors that are not so bright but just elegant, do not overdressed because they might expect a lot from you,just be confident and believe that you look perfectly fine.
