on 6/25/2009 Great advice! You would not believe how many people do not dress appropriately for job interviews.

on 4/12/2009 I conduct interviews and cannot believe how poorly prepared people are. They actually wear jeans to the inteview!! Not a good first impression!!

on 4/6/2009 Hey thanks, the advice was cool....!!Well, how should I dress up if i want to go for a BPO/Call center interview?

on 3/24/2009 Great advice!

on 3/21/2009 I think you can never go wrong with some nice dress slacks and a blazer that both fit well- especially for an administrative type job. 5*

on 3/19/2009 While your tips are well written and I agree with most of them, I disagree with your suggestion on what to wear and wrote my own ehow based on personal experiences which have always proven to be successful for me. You should never just wear the minimum required - a suit is always professional and can help you stand out from other candidates who might just show up in whatever the receptionist said was okay.

on 2/18/2009 I'm so glad you made the statement about calling the office first. This is also an excellent way to dispel any fears you may have about going in for the interview. It always helps me to know someone at least a little bit, when going to a new place. Once you sort of "make friends" so to speak with the receptionist don't forget to ask to meet her when you arrive for your interview. And she'll appreciate you remembering her from the phone call also. I forgot this once and am just so sure it had some bearing on my NOT getting the job. I'll never make that mistake again! Also, I'm so glad you didn't tell us ladies that a skirt suit is always a must. I never wear skirts or dresses, I live in Florida and hosiery for me is so uncomfortable - yes, if I must I can do it but ugh! Thanks for the succinct article. :)

on 10/21/2006 Be confident. Even you don't have have a lot of experience, training or education being secure and confident in what you want and say. Also, go for a specific position, never say you're applying for any position available.

on 9/9/2006 Avoid the classic navy interview suit with a white blouse unless the company expects all its employees to dress that way routinely. Your suit in most cases should be conservative but with a little style. For example, when I wore a back skirt and high quality matte sweater top with a black and white wild print jacket that was cut in a feminine but business-like pattern, the president of the company, kept me in his office for 2.5 hours and promised me an offer. I wore conservative shows, classic makeup and hairstyle and no jewelry except a gold work-related pin in my lapel. The colors were conservative, but the feminine shape of the suit and the wild abstract pattern made this a suit that showed both conservative values and confidence that comes with individuality.

on 8/8/2006 BE COMFORTABLE!!!!
Wear something that is conservative & corporate, but alos says who you are. i always pick something unmistakably Sarah to wear. If they don't like your dress, jewellry or hairstyle when it's toned down, do you really want to work for them?

on 1/25/2006 If you go for an interview in winter your coat will be on show. You should give this the same attention as what is underneath as this may be the first thing your interviewer sees (and it's more likely to have picked up dog hairs and lint since you wear it every day).

on 11/22/2005 Be aware that in preparation for your interview, you may perspire. Take care in the deodorant that you choose. Make sure that on a hot day, you have not dressed in a sweater.
