Dress Code for Job Interview
Posted By asha on 01-07-2010  in the Blog Category CV/GD/Interview
 
Dear Friends...
I would like to share some information in regards to interview dress code which you need to keep in mind while going for interview.
The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first judgment an interviewer makes is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing. That's why it's always important to dress professionally for a job interview, even if the work environment is casual. 
You'll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but, a great one. The candidate dressed in a suit and tie is going to make a much better impression than the candidate dressed in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt. 

How to Dress for an Interview: Men's Interview Attire
  • Suit (solid color - navy or dark grey) 
  • Long sleeve shirt (white or coordinated with the suit) 
  • Belt 
  • Tie 
  • Dark socks, conservative leather shoes 
  • Little or no jewelry 
  • Neat, professional hairstyle 
  • Limit the aftershave 
  • Neatly trimmed nails 
  • Portfolio or briefcase
Women's Interview Attire
  • Suit (navy, black or dark grey) 
  • The suit skirt should be long enough so you can sit down comfortably 
  • Coordinated blouse 
  • Conservative shoes 
  • Limited jewelry (no dangling earrings or arms full of bracelets) 
  • No jewelry is better than cheap jewelry 
  • Professional hairstyle 
  • Neutral pantyhose 
  • Light make-up and perfume 
  • Neatly manicured clean nails 
  • Portfolio or briefcase


What Not to Bring to the Interview
  • Gum 
  • Cell phone 
  • Ipod 
  • Coffee or soda 
  • If you have lots of piercings, leave some of your rings at home (earrings only, is a good rule) 
  • Cover tattoos


Interview Attire Tips 
Before you even think about going on an interview, make sure you have appropriate interview attire and everything fits correctly. Get your clothes ready the night before, so you don't have to spend time getting them ready on the day of the interview. If your clothes are dry clean only, take them to the cleaners after an interview, so they are ready for next time. Polish your shoes. Bring a breath mint and use it before you enter the building. 

I would recommend to go thru these site to get better openings in india and abroad - nakuri.com, fresherworld.com, citehr.com , http:/jobs.trovit.co.in etc.

good luck with your interview
