Dress The Part

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

This is gonna sound stupid…but you would be amazed at the people I have interviewed who turn up in wacky clothes, black tie and black shirt as if they’re going clubbing or something, never mind jeans, t-shirts and even some who actually wear dirty clothes.

If you want to dress to impress at any interview its really … really simple:

1) Dark grey or Blue suit.

2) Pure white shirt (no strips, spots or anything)

3) Dark blue tie.

4) Polished shoes.  ..and I mean proper shoes not sneakers or trainers.

Just stick to this formula and its a winner guaranteed.  oh and remove earings (if you’re a guy), nose rings and any others.  Don’t worry you can put them in when you start the job – but don’t risk meeting an interview who doesn’t like these things.

You are sitting at your desk with a high mountain of paperwork in front of you.  You have to arrange next weeks interviews.  You know it has to be done but honestly its last thing you want todo.  OK – so how can you get this job done really quickly.  Well you are certainly not gong to read through every resume in detail…no .. you’ll scan through look at whats interesting and then arrange some quick interviews… lets see… what looks interesting.

Can you see my point?

Just make it stand out.  Coloured borders (not pink) – large clear font – missions statement at the top.  Keep the writing simple and straightforward.  As soon as you start to included waffle – it’ll be passed my (trust me – I’ve been there).

Just make a difference and you’ll be called in.
