  • As a career strategist I've had the honour of being able to help numerous

  • professionals land their dream job offers and if this is something that

  • you're interested in working with me one-on-one I can give you details about

  • that at the end of this video now as you know I've been sharing my career advice

  • and tips and strategies with you for the last little while now and throughout

  • this time period I've actually had quite a few people approached me and asked me

  • to do a video on what to wear in an interview and to be honest I kept

  • putting this topic aside because I was surprised that you guys wanted to know

  • about this now I wouldn't say I have a defined sense of style I just wear

  • clothes that I like and wear clothes that I feel comfortable in but

  • regardless of the fact that I'm not a fashion expert I decided I'll make this

  • video and I'll share my tips with you on how you can dress in your next upcoming

  • interview so that you can look and feel your best now let's start off with the

  • ladies for women I would save the sense of style that you should be going for

  • when it comes to an interview is classy yet chic now first let's talk about

  • clothing the first tip I have for you when it comes to clothing is to make

  • sure that your clothes fit if you decide that you want to wear a suit to an

  • interview I think that's a great idea there's nothing wrong with over dressing

  • better to over dress them to under dress so when it comes to wearing a suit you

  • want to wear a fitted blazer and fitted pants don't go into the interview

  • wearing an oversized blazer unless that's the style if you want to wear an

  • oversized blazer and wear a dress underneath or a collared shirt and a

  • skirt with an oversized blazer I think that's actually completely fine as long

  • as it's meant to be an oversized blazer but if it's meant to just fit your body

  • the blazer is like a fitted blazer then make sure it actually fits now you also

  • want to make sure that you keep the colors neutral so I say go for gray

  • maybe beige lack is absolutely fine as well we're a

  • white clean colored shirt underneath most preferably if you're wearing a suit

  • a full-on suit or wearing a neutral colored dress underneath your blazer

  • works as well now for men and clothing same thing you want to look classy you

  • want to look professional so when it comes to you going into the interview

  • that's pretty simple when it comes to clothing you want to wear a suit and

  • similar to the ladies you want to wear a fitted suit please no oversized poofy

  • shoulder suits and make sure your suits are clean if the last time you wore the

  • suit you had sweated in it or you just haven't had time to take it to the dry

  • cleaner make sure you do that before you go into the interview I've had to

  • conduct interviews where I've had individuals come into the room and you

  • could tell they didn't clean their suit that's extremely important that you have

  • a clean suit when you come in again also a probably a plain white collared shirt

  • and a tie all tucked in properly a suit fitting your body as well that's a great

  • option to wear for the interview now let's talk about shoes so for the ladies

  • if you're gonna wear heels I highly recommend just wearing a simple pair of

  • shorter heels kitten heels they call them rather than wearing stilettos or

  • just really huge chunky heels it can give the wrong impression if you wear

  • you know just a heel with just a little bit of heights I think that's good

  • enough it'll still die up that nice classy look that you're going for and I

  • would probably go for just a plain black heel or a nude colored heel for men when

  • it comes to shoes very simple just faux leather or real leather dress shoes they

  • don't have to look super crazy they don't have to have crazy patterns they

  • don't have to have all those holes in them just a simple pair of dress shoes

  • try to make sure again that they also fit your feet that they're not too big

  • too clunky too chunky and maybe not too pointed at the same time I've seen some

  • really pointy dress shoes so just you know one that fits your foot fits you

  • feet and gives a nice shape and ties up the look that you're going for which is

  • that professional yet classy suited up look oh and about the shoes if they're

  • leather or even if they're not just make sure they're polished not dusty and fill

  • it full of dirt make sure you polish them before the

  • interviews now let's talk about hair so for women when it comes to hair this is

  • my personal opinion but instead of tying your hair in a ponytail or doing it up

  • in a bun I actually prefer that you have your hair down as a recruiter I feel

  • that it gives a more confident and self-assured look when you have your

  • hair down it's nice and neat of course and it's just free-flowing rather than

  • having your hair in a really tight bun or really tight ponytail I just feel

  • like it gives a little bit of a different vibe so that's my personal

  • opinion you do what you feel is best and most comfortable for you but if you can

  • leave your hair down for the interview now when it comes to hair for men as you

  • know hire managers for the most of them they want to work with clean people so

  • make sure your hair is clean cut as well nothing to straggly or messy I mean

  • ideally if you could comb it and gel it that's perfect but not overly gelled

  • where it's super shiny and glistening in the fluorescent light just nice combed

  • neat cut hair now when it comes to makeup this is I guess more applicable

  • for the ladies I would say don't go for an overly made up look if you can stick

  • with a neutral bronzy makeup no makeup look I think that's what it is I think

  • that's what it's called that would be great nothing too overly done so that

  • would mean just foundation eyeliner mascara blush lipstick lip gloss

  • eyebrows a little bit of highlighter maybe just a little bit and that's good

  • enough and then finally let's talk about accessories so when it comes to

  • accessories such as earrings bracelets I currently don't have really anything on

  • my wrist right now but normally I would wear a watch in terms of earrings if you

  • wear earrings then I would go for studs diamonds or pearls something that's not

  • too dangly not too partyish just a simple necklace if you prefer wearing a

  • necklace and if you want to wear a bracelet you can just something again

  • not too distracting for men accessories is a lot easier like I said earlier wear

  • a tie and wear a nice watch as well I mean it doesn't have it to be anything

  • crazy expensive just a nice business professional looking watch you know

  • whether it's leather or otherwise that's good as well there you have it those are

  • my best tips on how to dress for your next upcoming interview so that you can

  • look your best now if you are looking for a new position and you've been
