Not when you are going for an interview in Chinese or Indian companies,they don't care about your looks,dressing but on how hardworking you are. Infact dressing too well can disqualify well

Your home is incomplete without good quality furniture thats why we are here for you

Well it all depends on the organization that wants to recruit. You can for instance wear native dress complemented with a cap for interviews involving Government Ministries

Why can't ladies wear an open- toe shoe to an interview?

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.

Aaah,one should not eat!,do you want somebody to go n collapse in the interview room when bombarded with abracadabra question after waiting for hours before been called?, what about eating then flushing the mouth with plenty water n then licking some tomtom.

haven't done physical interview for more than a year now. And have gone to physical office for more than a year. Remote rocks. Remote work is the future. But i miss having colleagues and sad when people think i'm a yahoo boy simply because i dont go anywhere.

Damnnn niggarrrr
Ogbeni op you try...but interview na scam for Nigeria
Not to talk of bothering yourself on what to wear

Na Nigeria them for dey collect appointment and resumption of duty letters before interview..we know the story. If you doubt...check most federal govt parastatals..my cousin get appointment letter plus resumption of duty plus regularization letter before them call them for interview for uniben


You must be a real niggarr
I owe you something...but you must choose wisely
I owe you a nord vpn or cyberghost vpn username and password for you to huzzle or a paid runs babe or a parcel of weed...
Choose wisely
Help with Nord login boss. Or Sute pages to bomb.

SmartPolician:
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.
Men actually need a tie to interview but they don't really need suit.
Re: How To Dress To A Job Interview! by gonkin(m): 3:59pm On Nov 09, 2020
Also depends on the job. Not all jobs requires suit. My current job that's gonna end soon due to site shutdown, I wore safety boot, jeans and long sleeved shirt. Yes there were very technical questions cuz it was a technical job....there was one interview that the interviewer asked me why I chose to put on a suit that it's not a bank job. Last last the good jobs na Connection. If all jobs were through interview then Emma, voke and happy won't still be looking for job. 80% of jobs out there is via connection. When last did u hear that a nice company post an employment opportunity ad. Connection is cheaper and stress free. THE SYSTEM HAS CHANGED. Me too dey find connection so if u know someone that knows someone. Link me

Ok. May be in Nigeria. In December last year, a friend called me from Portland, US that he just finished his final interview with Google. It was a whatsapp video call and I could see him. He was wearing nice fitted blue Jean and zara top white shirt with sneakers join.

I was shocked but he told me that Google HR told him to wear any thing he likes and he wore what I saw him with, likewise other interviewees. They all dressed down.

And what happened to putting on a traditional attire to an interview venue

Remember, its the who can do the job that matters and not who looks more James Bonded.
