You are what you wear – especially when it comes to an interview! First impressions
are made in as little as 30 seconds and you want to project the image of an employee
your prospective company will want to hire. There’s no impression like the first
impression - so make it count!
When you look good, you’re more confident. Those who carry themselves with
confidence and convey a likeable personality are more likely to appear as an
attractive candidate, regardless of their physical qualities.
How can you look your best and project that winning quality? Start with a
smile followed by a positive attitude! These are your most effective yet most
inexpensive components of a successful interview.
Interview Attire / Celebrity Dress Code
Remember, you not
only represent yourself during your interview and at work, you represent Celebrity.
Your clothing should reflect professionalism and confidence.
- Dresses and suits are always considered
appropriate professional attire as well as a dress and jacket combination. Keep it simple,
tailored and select conservative colors.
- Avoid loud or flashy styles or colors.
- Women: avoid heavy makeup.
What is Business Casual?
Many of our clients have a more casual dress code. Your Account Manager will coach
you on what attire is appropriate for the company.
Remember – even if the internal dress code is very casual, your interview
attire should be professional and relatively conservative.
Business Casual Attire
- Business casual is an extension of professional,
yet in a more relaxed manner.
-
Dressing a notch above the norm on “Business Casual Day” is still appropriate.
- Classics such as khaki pants, chambray shirts, and vests are
appropriate. Your company may even offer company shirts.
- Shoes should always be polished.
- Try changing from the conservative white shirt to a more colorful,
open-collared shirt. It will make a great difference in your appearance while still retaining
professionalism.
- Avoid large logos, t-shirts with messages, and items that are revealing.
- Unbutton no more than the top button on shirts and blouses.
