Dressing For Success
(shailendra singh)
DRESSING FOR SUCCESS : How important is proper dress for a job interview? Well, the final selection of a job candidate will rarely be determined by dress. However, first-round candidates for an opening are often quickly eliminated by inappropriate dress. This is not to say you should go out and invest in a new wardrobe, just be sure that you are able to put together an adequate interview outfit. Every meeting is a chance for you to be evaluated. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. This means that no matter how casual the meeting (especially breakfast or lunch 'get togethers') appears to be, you have an opportunity to make an impression that counts. Generally, a professional-looking dress or suit with low-heeled shoes makes the best impression. In more conservative industries like law and banking, a suit is a safer bet than a dress. At the same time, some hiring managers in "creative" industries like advertising and publishing look for a more informal, stylish look that reflects the applicant's individuality. Use your best judgement and wear whatever is both professional and comfortable for you. personal grooming is more important than finding the perfect outfit. Be sure that your clothes are immaculately clean and well- fitting, that your hair style is neat and businesslike, and that your shoes are clean and attractive. Avoid excessive jewelry, makeup, or perfume. Be sure to bring a watch, pen, and pad of paper for taking notes. A briefcase or portfolio, if you have one, will help complete the look of professionalism. Avoid carrying purse if you can-it may detract from your professional image. When in doubt, it's better to dress too conservatively rather than too casually. Before you walk in, take a few deep breaths to calm your nerves. Give a firm -- not a limp or bone crushing -- handshake. And don't forget to take a few extra copies of your resume!
