Thoughtfully plan your attire for an interview with the following considerations:
Questions
What attire will best reflect your authentic style?
What colors do you think will best project your leadership presence?
Tips
Wear comfortable shoes that are complimentary to your attire and appropriate for a formal interview.
Some may recommend not wearing a new outfit, however, being your authentic self is more important. Wear what you choose to wear that represents your attire in the workplace.
If you are a jewelry lover, wear what you would wear in the workplace daily, keeping it simple, and not too flashy. If your jewelry is excessive, it will become distracting, and the interviewers will look at your jewelry rather than listen to your answers.
Once you have selected your attire, trust your judgment and those who may have advised you.
Last, remember when you enter the room for the interview, you will be ready to put your authentic self and attire forward and can enjoy the process!
