Interview Attire

No matter what the job, in order to secure it you must nail the interview. Now I can't help you all with your answer to "what is your greatest strength?" but I can show you how to dress for the part!



It never fails that when January rolls around people start anew at the never ending search for greener pastures in the work arena. So I thought it only appropriate to start out the new year with a blog about go-getting garb!

Here is what to wear for that all important interview...


Here is the one and only RULE to interview attire: Always wear some form of a suit for an interview! The type of suit changes depending on the type of job...but it is a suit all the same. It doesn't have to be the most expensive, no one expects recent college grads to be sporting Chanel tweed on their first fore into the work world, but here is a way to suit up for any occasion.

Climbing the Corporate ladder: Basic dark SKIRT suit with sharp lines. If you're interviewing corporate you still run the risk of meeting the old boys club so make sure you pick a skirt suit.



Political Ambitions: Ladylike hues with a tie blouse!! I would totally vote for you!



Fitness Instructor: Belted and zippered!! Who wouldn't want you to be their personal trainer?




Events Coordinator/Planner: you are effortlessly chic in this boucle skirt suit that is easy to run around in and something your clients can see your design aesthetic through!



Balance sheets: I've never been an accountant but my close friend tells me they all love brown suits! Here is one that incorporates the color while not looking too dull. They'll remember you this way!



Retail Oriented : Caped jacket, you are so on point, how could they not hire you?

Best of luck in your new job!!
