Why Should I Not Wear This?
by Mickey Mixon
The clothes you wear could make or break you. Those who know how to dress well from an ordinary day to a special occasion would really create impressions that are positive.
Before facing your interviewer, let us identify those clothes, and even accessories that would not be flattering at all.
* Wild colors are not hot in an interview
Some women look good in red, and you could be the hottest person around with that red top-to-toe get up. As much as possible wear something that is subtle in color but would make you looks flattering but not too loud. Remember that you are there for an interview and not for a night out. Men, dress conservatively.
* It is you, not your bag
When women are out for a job interview, do not bring with you a heavily printed bag. Small purses are better options and please choose a conservative color that could go along with your dress. Men, small portfolio is better than a large briefcase.
* Short skirt, short chance
Never wear an above the knee skirt. Your legs may be the silkiest in town but being an interviewee does not require you to wear this type of skirt. You will look unprofessional.
* You are not a Christmas tree
Jewelry and accessories could really be good add-ons for your looks. For job interviews, make sure that you do not wear too much jewelry. For example earrings: Do not show off that you have more than one piercing per ear by wearing more than one earring. Same thing for men. Leave the earring at home. No big jewelry, i.e. rings, chains, pendants, etc.
* Tie for him
For men, the safest to wear is a collared shirt but it would be also more professional to wear a long-sleeved shirt with a tie. Sports jacket or even a suit is an option, depending on the company. Never wear turtle-neck for an interview. You may just end up sweaty and out of fashion. Plus it makes you look like you do not have a neck.
You do not have to be a power dresser or a head turner when you wear clothes for a job interview. You just have to remember t0 look professional.
