As it well known, first impressions are always important. During the interview most interviewers have already made an impression about the candidate within initial 10 seconds. As a result, the way you dress for the interview is decisive to this first impression. Most corporate-recruiting experts would agree with this idea.<\/p>\n

The outfits should ideally not be overly casual or flashy. Indeed the most important point is that you should be clean and neat. Wear an outfit that fits you properly and suits your body type. Wearing un-pressed clothes give the interviewer the impression that you do not care about your appearance and would not be good for your chances of obtaining the position.<\/p>\n

The traditional suit is one of the best choices for wearing to an interview for both men<\/a> and women<\/a>. It should be restrained and quietly stylish. The suit has been seen as a symbol of prestige, power and confidence for many years. It also suggests that the wearer is successful. Because of this, it should contribute to your presence in any interview.<\/p>\n

It should not be a problem if the suit is black or coloured. What is more important is that the colour should be conservative and the design should be simple. It should ideally be entirely of one colour. Be aware that in some countries, certain cultural beliefs do not allow the wearing of a completely black outfit. This can be overcome by the wearing of a contrasting shirt or blouse with the suit, such as a pale blue or white. A black suit is generally the best choice as it looks conservative and will suit most body types.<\/p>\n

Accessories – Apart from the suit, accessories can also be worn. The rule for accessories is the same ? they should be stylish but not flashy. They should just act as enhancements for the body and not be of themselves obvious.<\/p>\n

Women need to be more circumspect regarding their choice of accessories. Some may find that they have to remove items that they normally wear, such as body piercings, large earrings or chunky bracelets. Women can wear some jewellery, provided it is not a distraction. Footwear is also important. It should be well made and should be of a design that provides the proper support to the feet. You should be able to walk in them and be comfortable. Shoes should not slip from your feet. As such, the best choice of footwear is closed in or lace up shoes with a modest heel for women.<\/p>\n

Your choice of footwear should also be considered. It should be hard wearing and should be of a design that provides the appropriate support to the feet. When wearing them you should be able to walk properly and comfortably. Shoes should not slip from the feet and as such the ideal footwear to have is closed in shoes. Your clothes and accessories should not overpower your personality. The attention of the interviewers should be on what you have to say during the interview and not what you are wearing.<\/p>\n
