Here are a few of the basic tips when dressing for a job interview:
If
you're not sure what to wear then ask. First ask a friend
you don't want to look stupid before you've even interviewed.
If not then give them a call.
Make
sure you'll be comfortable.
Stay
cool. The pressure will make you sweat, don't exacerbate
it with tight fitting clothing.
Think
about the image you're clothes will project and how this
fits in with the role you're going for.
For
the majority of interviews if you're a man then a suit and
tie will be fine. Try and make sure that the suit and the
tie are clean, well fitting and a sober colour. You do not
want what you wear to distract the attention of the interviewer.
You don't want to be remembered as the guy with the sunflower
tie.
If you're a woman then you have a little more scope, which
can be a bonus but can also make life more difficult. Again
a smart suit is probably the best idea. However the cut
of the suit can project very different images. A trouser
suit, with a wide collar shirt can come across as hard,
giving you the impression of being severe and unapproachable.
This may work in some environments. However, softening the
outfit slightly by wearing a round neck top underneath the
suit jacket may be a nice compromise that is both smart
but not too harsh.
