The social media generation can lack essential social skills for the real world and part of them are essential to know before going to a job interview.
We live in a time where face – to – face contact has been replaced with cyberspace presence and connecting with friends means disconnecting from reality.
Here are a few tips to know what to wear when you’re going to a job interview:
– Wear clothes that suit your body shape.
− Dress for the weather.
− Always look clean and tidy.
− Ensure items of clothing are clean and pressed.
− If provided, always adhere to the dress code.
− Dress for the job you want rather than the job you have.
− Take pride in your appearance, it conveys an air of self-respect.
− Aim to look professional rather than provocative in a professional setting.
− Ensure your shoes are polished and re-heel when necessary.
− Dress appropriately for your age.
− Avoid exposing your cleavage when wearing a miniskirt or dress. As a general rule, select one or the other. Think mystique not mistake.
− Never wear hosiery with open toe shoes. Hosiery is designed to give the appearance of perfect skin, so exposing your stocking covered toes would ruin the illusion.
