How to Dress for a Job Interview
Knowing what to wear for an interview is tricky – should you go with formal interview clothes, or something you feel a little more comfortable in? If possible, it’s a good idea to research the company online beforehand – this might give you a better idea of the workplace dress code.
If you’re in doubt, wear an outfit that’s neat, professional, and that you feel comfortable in. A smart dress is a fine choice – if it’s a bright print, make sure the colour is bold and the fabric is free from any obvious signs of age or damage. Surf washing powder is specially formulated to leave clothes clean and bright, meaning you’ll feel confident in whatever you choose to wear.
Preparation Tips
When it comes to dressing for interviews – whatever your outfit – follow these essential steps:
Avoid uncomfortable or complicated clothing.
If you’re worried about a tight collar or keeping your skirt in the right place, you’re more likely to appear distracted during the interview. So choose something you know is comfortable and cool, and you’ll feel much more focused.
Make sure your clothes are clean!
Stains, creases, and old or faded clothes will all give off the impression that you don’t care – the opposite of how you want to appear. Instead, check your clothes are in good condition and wash with a high quality washing powder like Surf Superbright to ensure clothes are bright and freshly fragranced.
Prepare in advance
Don’t leave preparation until the last minute! Wash, iron, and lay out your clothes the night before so you are not rushing around prior to the interview. That way, you can concentrate on staying calm, relaxed, and confident on the day itself.
Knowing what to wear for an interview isn’t the most important thing – and dressing well isn’t going to get you the job – but with these tips, you’ll certainly be equipped to do your very best. For more advice, check out the rest of our laundry articles.
