What to Wear For an Interview?

Some people may not know this but first impressions count a lot in the interview process. It's not just about what's on paper that someone is looking for. These days employers are looking for the total package; someone who has it together on paper and in person.

It may seem not that long ago when fashion wasn't that big of a deal in some cases. Of course there was style, we all had our own style, but that didn't constitute fashion. Now, in this day and age, we have to be fashionable. Having ones own style is fine, but it has to be done with taste and should be within the times.

When a lady goes to an interview she should stick with one main color whether it be black, blue, brown, or tan. The colors shouldn't be loud with reds and pinks and yellows. White is always the best option as the 2nd color of choice.

When a lady goes to an interview the best option is always a nice tailored skirt or pant suit. You can never go wrong with something like this. If one doesn't have either, a simple black skirt or nice dress pants, and a white collard shirt, or white fitted shirt with some type of cardigan will do.

When a lady goes to an interview she should definitely not wear open toe shoes. That is a huge, hell no. The shoes should be closed toe and should have some type of heel. The higher, the better. It will give the otherwise low key interview look a little added style.

When a lady goes to an interview she should definitely wear some type of accessories. I'm not saying all of her accessories, but a nice necklace or some earrings. Rings are unnecessary at interviews and so are bangles and bracelets, they just clank against everything.

A lady should definitely wear makeup to an interview. I know some women might not agree with me, but come on; it shouldn't take much to fix yourselves up a little. A little eye liner here, a little mascara there... some lip gloss, and you're set.

A lady should definitely have her nails done for an interview. If you can't make it to get a manicure, at lease file and paint them so they look professional.
