Essential and Appropriate Outfits for Job Interviews
Written by Alan CarniolPersonal interviews are a critical aspect of the job search process. It’s an important step taken by companies to filter through their applicants and make sure they hire the person who’s 100% fit for the job. It’s also a perfect venue for jobseekers to showcase their skills and connect with their potential new company. Because the importance of one on one interviews cannot be discounted, it’s only imperative that you come prepared for this event. However, besides doing research and rehearsing for the possible questions, there’s also one important thing to consider if you want to ace your interview - your outfit.
We've all heard one or two of those crazy job interview stories, where the candidate did something strange/bold/creative and landed the job.
Like the guy who brought his guitar to the interview, sat down, and proceeded to sing a song (which he wrote himself) about why he was the best candidate for the job. (He got it.)
Or the woman who sent a customized Barbie doll to Mattel, along with her resume. (She got the job too.)
