Women - 5 Golden Rules of What to Wear to Corporate Job Interviews
By Ugur Akinci
If you are applying for the concession stand at your local movie theater or local fast food joint, you can probably wear whatever you like to your job interview.
But if you are applying for a “more serious” corporate position, you’d better observe these 5 Golden Rules that will help you make a very positive first impression and enhance your chances of getting that high-paying important job.
Rule Number One - always wear a matching business SUIT, no matter what. Always. Pants and jacket. Skirt and jacket. But a suit nevertheless. White or other muted-color blouses with VERTICAL stripes are recommended since it reflects the generally male-dominated corporate culture.
Rule Number - never show your toes. No sandals or open-toed shoes. Always closed-toe shoes with moderate heel.
Rule Number Three - the word is MUTED. All colors on you should have an overall muted and pleasant effect, with no color jumping out and calling attention to itself. No tangy orange, day-glo reds or lime greens. All tones of gray and dark blue are safe bets.
Rule Number Four - don’t wear anything that sends any “sexual signals” and everybody knows what that is. No low necklines. No super tight pants, etc.
Rule Number Five - do not wear anything too loose or really comfortable because they broadcast a subliminal message of self-indulgence, and most employers do not want to hire people that they correctly or mistakenly believe to be self-indulgent or lacking in self discipline. For example, loose and comfortable sweaters, sweat pants and jogging suits, or denim shorts definitely fall into this category.
