How To Dress To A Job Interview! by crimmish: 11:15am On Nov 09, 2020
Dressing matters a lot in job interview, before saying anything to the employer; your dressing already says it all because you made the first impression with your dressing.

Every organization has its own dress code virtually for only interviews, then dressing at work really doesn't matter to them.

The guidelines stated here are commonly accepted rules for the right dressing to interviews.

MEN
1. Dress professionally according to the position you are applying for. Generally, when we talk about dressing to interviews; then we mean wearing suit, it is not appropriate to dress down for an interview regardless to the organization dress code.

2. Be conservative in your dressing when doubting about the dress code.
Wear dark colored suit for interviews like black, navy-blue and compliment with a light colored shirt. Choose bright colors for the shirt, this is the most appropriate way to dress for interview.

3. Match your colors perfectly with socks, ties, shoes and belts.

4. The suit should provide comfortability and fitness for adequate confidence during the interview. Try and invest in a new suit if you do not feel eased in your old suit to ensure you look and act your best during the interview.

5. Ensure all your outfits are iron-pressed, clean and neat. Have a clean bathe the morning of the interview and wear deodorant and do not wear body spray or perfumes with offensive or too strong smell, in order not to cause an allergic reaction at the place of interview.

6. Avoid wearing flashy, too bright or loud color ties to the interview so that you won't call for unnecessary attention.

7. Always go to interviews with fresh breath. Always have your teeth brushed before leaving for interview. Do not eat before an interview.

8. Keep your hair conservative, clean and neat.

WOMEN
1. Mostly for women, a suit with skirt or pant trouser should be worn. Be more conservative in your dressing when in doubt.

2. Always go for suit with comfortability and fitness, if you are using a waistband; avoid being too tight in order not to cut you into halves and making you look uneased. You might visit the tailor if you have an old suit you want to adjust.

3. Suits for interviews should look simple and be chosen in dark colors. Never wear suit that is too tight, has bright color, too short to interviews as the employers might lay complaint about this which would not give you credit on your part. You can choose a pant trouser or a skirt with knee-length.

4. Choose the appropriate blouse to compliment your suit. Do not compliment your suit with blouses with floral print, animal prints, geometric prints or lacy styles.

5. Makeup to be applied should not be heavy or cakey; it should be a simple makeup with neutral tones complimenting your skin color. Nail polish should be flattering, do not use bright colors or fix the long type of nails to an interview.

6. Avoid loads of accessories and jewelries, keep your jewelry to a low and minimise the accessories used for your hair.

7. Shoes should be low-heeled. Do not wear shoes with an open toe or back; any shoes you know you would love to wear to club or on a date, then those type of shoes are generally inappropriate for interviews. Owning a basic pump say it all as it is the best kind of shoes for official outings.

If u like wear blazers or Tuxedo,

If u don’t have the right connection, u might just be decently seated on que waiting for ur turn while those Lafida smelling people who specialize in chewing Guoro, with regalia and dirty slippers will just walk passed you into the HR’s office and smile out with their employment letters.

The interview coordinator will only frown out and tell you,
‘YOU WILL HEAR FROM US’

Forget this ur long epistle @ Op,
This life nor balance

Yes. Really educative.
Dress the way you want to be addressed.
If you dress responsibly, people will take you for a responsible person even if you are not and vice versa.

Guys, you don't necessarily need a tie for an interview. If you have a sharp trouser and shirt, perfect. You don't need a suit either.

For the ladies, make sure you don't expose your boobs when you go for an interview.

Putting on tubes that expose your cleavage is enough for you to be disqualified by a female panelist who has an eye for your supposed boss.
