Tips for a job interview!
1 – Blouses and Necklines
Don’t wear cleavage. The aim is to learn about professional skills. The neckline will draw more attention to the person. Blouses should have wider sleeves to cover the shoulders. Avoid tops with spaghetti straps or those that show your bra strap.
2 – Prints
If the candidate opts for prints, prefer discreet ones. Avoid very strong color prints, however, be careful not to look too romantic, as this gives an image of fragility. However, it is best to opt for neutral colors.
3 – Dress shirt and suits
These are classic and infallible pieces and are advisable for formal job interviews, as they convey an image of elegance. The black color on the shirt and suit is spot on.
4 – Skirts and dresses
Use them if you are sure it will be a conventional interview, without dynamics. Because, depending on the dynamics applied, the skirt can interfere with performance. The recommended length is up to three fingers above the knee. Much below or above does not suit an interview. They should not be glued to the body either. The skirt composed of a long blouse conveys seriousness.
5 – Shoes
If the company is more formal, wear closed-heeled shoes. Avoid noisy shoes, as they attract attention and can be annoying. Prefer sneakers in less formal companies.
6 – Pants
It should not be tight or too loose. Jeans need to be more discreet, without too much shine or work. Tailored pants are spot on, there’s no mistake. Like skirts, combined with long-sleeved blouses, it looks sophisticated and serious.
7 – Makeup and nails
No need to wear heavy makeup. Makeup for an interview should be simple, just to even out the skin, such as concealer to cover imperfections, lipstick in a very light color. Little blush and mascara.
On your nails, don’t use strong colors or nails that are too long. Ideally, they should be clean and well cut, with a very light base or nail polish.
8 – Hair, accessories and perfumes
Do not comb your hair. Just keep them well aligned. Avoid wearing accessories in your hair, such as headbands with flowers. The perfume should be mild and in small quantities. Don’t overdo the production. Avoid statement earrings or loud necklaces and bracelets. Use discreet accessories.
