Appearance matters in interviews. The idea is for the interviewer to remember what the interviewee is saying not what they are wearing. Below are three tips interviewees should take into consideration when preparing to dress for an interview.
1. Dress appropriately for the position. Research the company’s culture. Speak to the recruiter about what dress is most appropriate for the company and position.
2. Do not try to appear too youthful. Trying to convey youthfulness in clothing such as short skirts and high fitting pants will not send a positive message about the interviewee’s interest in the job. Convey youthfulness in your attitude and ideas, not in your style of dress (Tomazin, 2014).
3. Ensure the clothing fits. Clothing that does not fit not only conveys the interviewee is uncomfortable but they are detracting from their natural look (Tomazin, 2014). When the interviewee is comfortable their confidence will show. Tomazin, M. (2014). Mature Job Seekers Need to Act Their Age. USA Today Magazine, 143(2832), 36-38.
