Try envisioning yourself as a company product, because that’s how employers see you. So what kind of “personal packaging” do you come in? Messy or unkempt? Or as someone who’s got it together?
When going for a job interview keep in mind how you choose to dress sends a strong signal to prospective new employers. As a future representative of that company or organization, you’ll need to ‘look’ the part as much as ‘sound’ the part ... so here are a few “dressing for success” tips from Tampa Bay WorkForce Alliance—
-Proper attire maintains professionalism
-Appearance is 9/10ths of the law—nothing goes unnoticed when you are in line for a job or promotion
-Remember, you never know who is watching
-The key to good first impressions is to remain composed in how you dress and act. Stylizing shouldn’t be overdone. Too many bright colors and busy patterns can avert all the attention to your clothes when it should be on you
-Cleanliness is important. It holds such weight and emphasis that it outshines the worst put together outfit
-Clothes that fit are what separate the sloppy from the sophisticated. Tailored fits work well and tend to be stylized more than clothes that droop or are too tight
-For men, wearing a suit is appropriate for the interview but when on the job a nice shirt, tie and jacket should suffice
-For women, wearing a suit (skirt or pants) is best
-Do not under any circumstances wear tee-shirts and shorts.
