What to wear to your next interview

So you mull over what to wear to your next big interview?!$&. Here are a few tips. For most interviews, conservative dress is always best. For men, that means a dark suit, white or light colored shirt, tie and dark dress shoes. For women, that means a suit or dress to the knee, hose, and closed toed shoes. 

Some specifics to consider - don't wear anything too flashy. That means a watch or nails or purse.  You want the interview to notice you, not your nail art or blingy watch. Women- keep makeup to neutrals. Don't go with a smoky eye or sparkling lipstick. Everyone make sure you are well groomed. That means clean shaven or shaped beard, hair out of face and clean nails. 

Please note with all of these recommendations, you should consider the context. What is the specific job? If you are interviewing for a stylist position, you want your hair and makeup to be fantastic and maybe even a little more "done up" than you would for a accounting job. If it's an ad agency, a little bit of flair in your dress may be warranted. 

These few tips will help you make a great impression at your next interview! And if you have any more questions on this, please ask me at marty@mannerspro.com. 

Best of luck!
