- Don’t let your hair down
Make sure your hair is clean and tidy before an interview. Tie long hair back and even if you’re having a seriously bad hair day do not turn up in a hat - Slip Slop Slap
Fancy eye makeup, blood-red lipstick and heavy foundation might work at the nightclub, but it doesn’t work for most job interviews. Keep it light and natural. - Shady Character
Remove the sunglasses before you arrive. And if you wear glasses, make sure they’re clean to ensure good eye contact. - Tooth and nail
Nothing is more distracting to an interviewer than a candidate with food wedged in their teeth. Clean them before you show up. For fingernails, make sure they’re trimmed and scrubbed, and if you wear nail polish, keep in neutral. - Food to go
Don’t turn up clutching a coffee or chewing gum. Eating or chewing in an interview won’t win you bonus points - Body Work
No matter how much you love your body art, not everyone shares your enthusiasm. Cover up tattoos as much as you can, and remove the eyebrow, nose and tongue ring for the interview. - Tie Dies
Ties aren’t necessary for every role, but if you decide to wear one, keep it subtle. Turning up with Homer or Bugs Bunny around your neck is not a good look. - Smell you later
Shower or freshen up before the interview and invest in a decent antiperspirant- you don’t want to turn up with bad body odour or sweat stains. - Cover up
Plunging necklines, low-rider jeans and other revealing clothes are a no-no. - Dodge the denim
Wearing denim, no matter how hip the label, sends the message that you’re taking the interview way too casually. Just don’t.
And finally
- Fit the part
Neat and tidy presentation works for any position, but different jobs demand different wardrobes, so aim for that level. If it’s an executive role, wear appropriate, professional office wear. For a creative post, a more individual approach can work.
