What NOT to Wear

Below are interview attire tips. Make sure that you make the effort to put your best foot forward.

Good Luck!

1. If you have to wonder if something is appropriate attire, nine times out of ten, it is not.



2. Night Club wear is not interview attire.


3. If you have a piercing in your tongue, nose, chin, cheek or in your ears (if male) take it out before you leave home.


4. No fishnet pantyhose please.


5. No Timberland boots please .



6. If you do not own navy blue or black slacks, skirt, or dress and don't have additional funds to make a new purchase, try your local second hand shop. Jeans do not make a good substitute.


7. If you get a manicure, please use clear polish or a french manicure. Multicolored, glitter, and studded nails are a no no.



8. Just because you have great assets, does not mean that you interviewer would like to know. Keep the girls hidden from view and not falling out of your blouse.



9. Make-up should be natural and a compliment to your complexion, it should not look like you plastered it on with a spatula! Men, if you shave before your interview, make sure to check for razor cuts before you put on your shirt. Not a good look to have a collar with blood stains.



10. Leave the over sized hand bags at home and opt for a small hand bag. Not only is it awkward and bulky but it is way too much when meeting with a potential employer.
