Outfit for the interview: Rules for styling
Rule 1: Check dress code
Are you unsure if the company you are in is more conservative or casual? Then find out about the prevailing dress code and orient yourself. Can not clarify that about the image and the profile of the company, just sit on the opposite side of the entrance and watch, like yours? hopefully ? go to work for future colleagues. So you get a feeling for the prevailing culture and a sure hand for your outfit during the job interview.
Rule 2: Choose a feel-good outfit
If you feel uncomfortable in a fancy sheath dress because you're otherwise wearing only jeans, then you should consider what compromise you can make in terms of styling. In which outfit can you move freely and naturally? Is there anything that irritates you that distracts your attention, perhaps because you have to constantly fiddle with your clothes? Can you breathe deeply in your outfit?
You should "try" the styling on these aspects, and possibly resort to something that has been hanging in your closet for some time, but has always accompanied you successfully. Remember, the classic blazer does not always have to be the key to success (or new job). In many professions and with many employers, a trouser suit or a blazer would look almost stiff nowadays. Then grab jeans and a classic white blouse. The choice of clothes also always depends on how conservative the industry is in principle and whether one will have customer contact in his job.
Rule 3: Natural Makeup
You could apply a dramatic line of eyelids if you apply to be an Amy Winehouse double in an artist agency. In a bank or insurance extravagant make-up is completely out of place. (Here we show you how to make a natural day make-up.)
Rule 4: Red is dangerous
In your dress choice you should the classical color psychology Consider: Red is often aggressive and dominant. Depending on the job profile, you may want to avoid classic red.
Black, anthracite and light or navy blue On the other hand, they are competent and recommendable especially in conservative sectors. In pink or pink clothes, on the other hand, you look very girlish - and not compelling. For a job interview so rather unsuitable. Yellow and orange signal unrest and movement and therefore also not ideal. Lime green, on the other hand, is fresh, balanced and soothing.
Rule 5: Not too much jewelry
No matter what job you imagine, you should not wear too much jewelry. Subtle earrings, chain and finger ring are doing well, but no flashing Klunker à la Material Girl. Important: The jewelry should be genuine, costume jewelry looks frivolous and in the worst case tasteless. Depending on the job should also visible piercings removed or hiding. Not with all employers, this body jewelry is well received.
Rule 6: Subtle scent
Even if you like to float around in sweet scented puddles - in the job interview you should rely on a fresh, discreet perfume (citrus and orange notes are perceived by almost all people as positive). Above all, heavy oriental fragrances are not very suitable for everyday working life. They quickly fill the room and stay in the air for a very long time. A boss who does not like the scent will eventually project his aversion to the perfume onto you.
