Shoes for your interview
Many interviewers look at the interviewee's shoes before anything else and will judge accordingly - so your shoes must be clean. Don't go for stilettos with ultra high heels - aim for your outfit to be neat but not dramatic.
Ladies - what outerwear should you select for your job interview
Many organizations commonly dress down and jeans and casual wear is acceptable on a day-to-day basis. However you are trying to ensure that your first impression is better than those competing for the same job so as a general guide look to wear a neat combination of blouse and skirt. If you are plus size then stick to darker colors and away from vibrant large patterns - you are not auditioning to be a set of sixties floral curtains! Stripes will work and be flattering if they are vertical - steer clear of horizontal stripes
Tights or stockings
Apparently sales of pantyhose and
stockings has been dropping over the past few years as more women choose not to have their legs covered. If you do wear a skirt for your job interview as recommended then it is essential to wear nylon stockings or pantyhose. Pantyhose or stockings will finish your outfit and flatter your legs as well, hiding any blemishes and giving an 'artificial tan' to pale legs. Keep the look restrained - neutral to dark shades, and avoid vibrant colors or patterns.
Choosing lingerie for your job interview
No, this is not a joke, lingerie can make a difference. If you feel your underwear fits well, and looks good (even though you're the only one to know), then you will behave more confidently.
