Dress To Impress: Guide to Pick an #OOTD For Your Job Interview

Yesterday, I had a job interview (I'll tell you what company it is, soon)  It's one of my dream companies.I hope I'll get the job. Please pray for me ☻

Actually, I wore a blazer during my interview because duh? Everyone needs to wear a formal attire on a job interview. But I removed it right after because it was too hot . I asked Francine to bring me a cover-up or kimono because my outfit was too sexy to go out and wander around so she lend me this kimono and I swear to God, it's so comfortable to wear  ❤️

Since I mentioned about job interview might as well share some tips on what to wear on a job interview. #Feelingfashionblogger. Don't worry! I'm gonna share some tips on how to rock a job interview too in a separate post ❤

      By the way, you should not wear your cover-ups like that during your interview, okay? Duh?

This is the time when "Dress to Impress" is appropriate because arguably your outfit plays a vital role in dictating the final outcome of your interview. Same with when you buy a product, the packaging will catch your attention first and that's the time you'll be interested to buy that certain product. When you're applying for a job, the product is you - you are selling yourself. And take note just because you dress nicely and you look good, it doesn't mean you're dressed well for an interview. There's a huge difference. It's not about looking great, it's about looking great for the job. True, people shouldn't be judging books by their covers but your party-ready look or basic-er look may give your interviewer an impression that you are not the career-minded professional they are looking for.

You should have a corporate attire in your closet because it is important most especially when you are looking for a job or when you already have a job because you never know when you need it. It's like having a first aid kit in your house. 

Overdress rather than under dress. Its best to play safe. Under dressing gives you an impression that you are not serious about wanting the job because you're not putting effort.

Go with more professional and conservative look. Always remember that revealing clothes are distracting.

Your dress or top should not be low necked, see-through or sleeveless. When it is sleeveless then wear blazer, sweater or kimono.

Skirts should be pencil skirt or A-line but not too tight or too short where it would be hard for you to sit down or move around and the slit should not be too high. You don't want to expose your underwear, right?

Slacks should be loose but not baggy, straight cut and not tight-fitting and go for neutral or pastel colors.

So those are the tips that I can give. How about you? Share your tips on the comment box below
