Rules that apply to all interviews:
1) ALWAYS make sure hygiene is fresh and clean .. Including your breath !
2) FIT is huge when wearing a suit or business attire.
Note : too big clothes gives the impression of not caring, being unorganized and lazy all qualities a corporation is not looking for …. HOBO chic for an interview will leave you a HOBO !!!!!!
3)SHOES
Women: Now I LOVE a 5-6inch heel just like the next fashionista however in Corporate America they are not necessarily considered professional . Be cautious with the heels you choose to wear.
( Fashion interviews may be an exception)
YES:
Men: Make sure your shoes are clean and professional and 90% of the time it would be wise to choose loafers or dress shoes over sneakers.
4) HAIR
Women : Hair should be out of your face with the exception of a bang and should be neat and well maintained
Men :
If you have braids or dreads they should also be fresh and neat
5) JEWELRY/ACCESSORIES
Women : I suggest one ring ( besides a wedding ring) a watch, of course earrings (caution on the small side) and possibly a necklace..... especially for corporate interviews.
Note : Old saying goes...... Look in the mirror and take one piece of jewelry off :)
Men : I would stick to a watch and a wedding ring ( no earrings or necklaces)
<---------- (Soooooooo NOT an option )
