Dress code for interviews
In general when attending an interview it is best to follow these rules:
- Be conservative. Conservative is best for the interview regardless of the dress code at the organization. Better to wear a clean plain shirt and trousers or skirt at a suitable length than be at risk of wearing something inappropriate.
- If you're unsure, call them and ask! Ask if the company has a dress code. If you are still unsure, go for a conservative look.
- Make sure you have a well-groomed hair style.
- Make sure that you have clean and trimmed finger nails.
- Do not wear too much perfume or after shave but certainly make sure you have showered or bathed and your clothes are clean and you have used antiperspirant - when you are nervous you are likely to sweat more.
- Think about not having visible body piercing.
- Don't chew gum.
- Try wearing limited amounts of jewellery.
- Make sure your shoes are clean and polished.
