As an employment agency, Express Vancouver often sees candidates come in for interviews dressed in ways that distract from the interview process. Understanding what to wear for an interview is important, as it helps the interviewer focus on you and your qualifications. Below, Express Vancouver has provided three easy to follow tips for selecting the perfect interview outfit.
Tip 1: Get to know the company you are interviewing with before the interview.
Doing some research on the company you are interviewing with can provide you with basic insight on what may be expected in the position, from how to dress to the skill sets and qualifications needed. You can begin your research by looking at the company’s social media accounts. Looking at these accounts first, you may be able to find employee photos or videos. These will give you a basic understanding of how employees at that company dress for their position day-to-day. Once you have a handle on the company and the day-to-day attire, go one step above this for your interview.
Tip 2: Keep it simple
A great way to avoid any distractions is to keep your outfit simple and classic. Interviews are not the time to wear a super trendy outfit. Stay away from bold colors and over the top patterns. Make sure you go easy on the jewelry and makeup, as well. Let your resume and personality speak for itself, and think organized and stylish when picking the perfect outfit.
Tip 3: Details are everything
The best way to look polished and organized is to make sure you are paying adequate attention to details. Do not show up to your interview dressed in clothing that has not been properly ironed, has stains or rips, and that may be too big or too small. Paying attention to these little details will make all the difference.
Overall, take a deep breath and try to have fun. We know finding employment is stressful but have confidence in yourself. Know your abilities and skills and know that you can do this!
