Interview Tips: Looking the Part

Ideally, you need a Manager to imagine your face working in their office, and making you sure you look the part in your interview is a positive first step in doing so. This doesn’t mean you should treat your interview as a fashion competition; you still have the hard part left to do! But, with little effort you can seriously maximise your chances of getting the job offer.

#1 – Find out what to wear

Make no mistakes: ring up the Manager or business’ HR department and find out what the expected dress code is.

#2 – Get your wardrobe in order

Tatty, discoloured shirts, old ties with pen marks on them and ripped tights are never a good idea!

#3 – Keep your Clothes Clean!

Your best bet is to see what you need dry-cleaned before the interview date, reducing your chance of your potential employer spotting that dodgy stain on your sleeve.

#4 – One (mainly) for the Ladies

Make sure whatever jewellery and make up you are wearing is simple and understated. Heels are acceptable as long they’re not too outlandish.

#5 – Turn Up Well-Groomed

Seeing greasy hair and a scraggily beard won’t get you too far in most companies. A freshly trimmed haircut won’t do you any harm, and don’t go overboard on the perfume/aftershave.
