Being a Post-Grad without a full-time job, going on numerous interviews is becoming the norm. To cover all my bases after doing research on the company, I googled what to wear on a job interview.
All the results gave directions like pressed business suit, closed-toe heels, neutral colors, no fingernail polish, and pulled back hair. All of these lacked any sort of personality. I thought first interviews were mainly first impression/personality type situations. How can someone get a true sense of who I am, if I am not comfortable in my attire.
I am not a fan of the business suit. It is not flattering on any one woman I have ever seen. It is also not comfortable. Then what to wear?
Nowadays, I feel business professional attire rules can be flexible.
On a recent interview I wore this.
- Blazer- Forever 21
- Sweater Dress- Target
- Scarf- Target
- Watch- Michael Kors
- Tights- JCrew
- Boots- Target
- Nail Polish- Essie
I felt and looked professional without being in an uptight suit. What do you think?
What are you wearing on your job interviews? I would love to know and happy job hunting:)
