Interview Dressing

What to wear to the interview! Interview dressing is always a big consideration.

If you know how people dress at the company where you are interviewing, dress as you would for an important day on the job.

So for a woman who normally wears pants or a skirt and a blouse, if she adds a jacket, or wears a more dressy blouse, this would be find.

For a man who normally wears a golf shirt, upgrade it to a dress shirt and pants. If he normally wears an open neck dress shirt, add a tie.

If you will be wearing a uniform or overalls in the job, dress smartly for the interview.

Make sure everything is clean and neatly pressed, with no cat hairs over dark colors, or scuffs on shoes. Your hair should be neat and a natural looking color, regardless of how you normally wear it.

Since may employers tend to be on the conservative site, it is also a good idea to remove any extreme body piericings and cover large tattoos.

If you are really not sure how to dress, take a trip a few days before the interview, to the place of work around the time people are out and about at lunch time, or leaving in the evening, and note how they dress.

It is perfectly possible you will turn up at your interview looking neat, tidy and very respectable and find yourself being interviewed by someone in khakis and a t-shirt. That's fine.

You've still shown respect for the interview and the interviewer by dressing nicely, and when they offer you the job you can always ask about the dress code so you come on your first day dressed like every one else.
