Accessorizing

Suits, confidence, poise. You've got it all. But whats a great outfit without the right accessories? What's poise if your outfit isn't put together just right? That's why I am going to provide you with accessorizing tips for the big interview day. For girls and guys, this is important information for your job searching journey ahead. Now to begin.

Hair- Girls, when going to an interview make sure your hair is out of your face. I would suggest pulling it back, but really, you should wear it however you are most comfortable. Just make sure you aren't touching it excessively, and that it is not covering your eyes. Guys, try to make some effort with your hair if it is on the crazy side. A little gel never hurt anyone.

Jewelry- Less is truely more in an interview. You shouldn't be wearing big dangling chandeliers ladies. Some conservative studs will do the trick. Nothing too flashy. Boys if you have earings, take them out.

Ties- Gentlemen. Ties can be very important. Not only do you want one that compliments the suit, but also you should have one that catches the employers eye. Red is a power color and wearing it is a sign of confidence. However, something more conservative may be more in line. But make sure you stay away from cartoons, cars, and tacky colors.

Bags- Ladies, make sure you have a nice bag to bring in. I would suggest forgoing the purse for something more professional that can hold your belongings, a portfolio pad of paper, a writing utensil, and copies of your resume. Guys the same goes for you and a brief case. It should be made out of a nice material and should be a professional color.

So here are the basics. If you have any more questions in regards to what is right and what is wrong to wear on an interview, feel free to post a comment. We are here to help you. So if there is anything you want to know, we want to tell you what to do. Stick with me.
