Appearances should not matter, but the plain fact is that you are often judged before you have even uttered a word. Dressing comfortably is important in a pressurised interview situation. Confident dressing hints at your desire to progress and succeed within the company. Women specially need to take care as they have more options and feeling a tad bit confused is understandable. A classic plain business suit combined with a clean shirt goes well.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Employers can reject candidates even before getting down to their resume.

Corporate or not, it is best if you play by the rules in interviews.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Get the right fit \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>Nothing is more disorderly than a sloppy candidate for interviewers. An ill-fitting suit, or just a little too loose or tight attire for an interview says a lot&nbsp;about&nbsp;your character in personal life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Don\u2019t go overboard with accessories \u2013<\/strong> Remember you want your interviewer to be concentrating on what you\u2019re saying, so go easy on add-ons.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Subtle makeup \u2013 <\/strong>You could use makeup to emphasise your eyes and mouth, but should steer clear of anything too outrageous.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Strong whiffs \u2013 <\/strong>Too much perfume or too little deodorant can both be big turn-offs, as can cigarette smells. So, make sure you smell nice, but neutral.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\"><strong>Piercings and tattoos \u2013<\/strong> Another feature that is increasingly common, and one likely to deter an employer. If you cannot remove them, keep any studs small and cover any offensive or obscene body art.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Impress your interviewers with your appearance and attire, so what you wear does not detract from what you say.
