Image control- tips to dressing for success
- 2. Questions to ask yourself before you get dressed for your interview • What should I wear? • Do I have to wear a suit? • What shoes do I wear? • Do I need new shoes? • What about my nails? • Should I wear makeup? • How do I style my hair? • Do I take my purse?
- 3. Dress Code ? • Too much makeup • Clothes that are too small • Old fashioned or messy hair • Dirty, scuffed or inappropriate shoes • Undergarments showing
- 4. Quick “Code” Fixers • Choose one entire outfit, including accessories • Coordinate outfits so you can mix and match for different looks • Select your outfit and hang it outside your closet the night before
- 5. Interview Appropriate •Skirt Suits or Pant Suits with formal business blouses or tops, stockings, closed toe shoes. • Limited jewelry- no dangling earrings or armfuls of bracelets- not wearing ANY is better than wearing too much! •Neatly manicured nails and hands •Business accessories such as a brief case, folder, note pad and pen.
- 6. Use the right bait to land the job you want
Editor's Notes
- What is the environment of the business I’m applying to- dress at least as nicely as the employees if not just a little nicerSuits are optional if applying for a very casual or outdoor career- most offices and professional settings will require at least business casualShoes do not have to be new, but do need to be well maintained. They should be clean and free from scuffs or tears.Nails should be clean and neat, they do not have to be polished, but hang nails should be trimmed and nails groomed or smoothed. If you have your nails done, make sure they don’t draw attention away from your abilitiesMakeup should enhance, not overpower. Less is moreHair style may need to be updated, but clean and neat are far more acceptable that fashion forward crazy colors in a professional settingPurses, briefcase or messenger bags are fine, back packs and diaper bags leave in the car
- While you won’t get a written dress code until you are actually an employee, these are some pretty standard dress code rules that apply almost every where.Stop in and observe what other employees are wearing prior to your interview so you can gauge what the dress code for your potential employer is.
- Purchase/select one entire outfit down to the accessories at the same time to insure you have at least one complete lookBuild onto your outfit with additional pieces that can be interchanged to make your wardrobe largerPeriodically examine your wardrobe and make any repairs needed.
- Keep in mind little details- body odor, unclean teeth-food or lipstick, goop in corners of eyes or mouth, torn clothingClothing that is too tight, too short or too low cut
