In light of the economic downturn worldwide, graduating students face an uphill task competing with thousands of laid-off workers for the few jobs available. While many talks and courses target improving interview and resume-writing skills, what these often miss out is the change that is happening within the workplace.

 

Interviewers today have to go through more interviews for the same job and to save time and effort, make decisions whether to grant you a full interview based on their first impressions of you. They are observing how you dress right at the first handshake and if they like the way you look, they will be more receptive towards what you have to say. How you present yourself reflects your readiness to join the workforce and interviewers catch on to this.

 

However do not fret if you cannot afford that Calvin Klein suit that your friend has. A professional wardrobe is a worthwhile investment and it need not be expensive, but it must be presentable.

 

Here are some tips to prepare that professional look to open doors to a successful interview:

 

Ditch the Black.

It can give the interviewer the impression that you are aloof. Instead consider dark greys and blues which convey that you are accessible and trustworthy.

 

Dress like a Professional, not a Clown.

Prints or patterns must not be larger than your fingertips. Wear no more than eight accessories, including the belt and bag.

 

Conservative Wins

Discreet points of interest such as pinstripes are fine and make you stand out. If in doubt, opt to be conservative. If you are being interviewed via video conference, check the room first to ensure your outfit is not of the same color as the wall.

 

Choose the Right Shirt

Shirts with more than one breast-pocket look more casual and should not be paired with ties. Formal shirts should not have any flaps on the pocket.

 

Be a Lady

Your skirt should cover your kneecaps when you stand.

 

Strike a Balance

The darkest colors in your outfit should always be worn lower to ensure a balanced look. This means to avoid wearing shoes that are of a lighter shade than your skirt or trousers.

 

Poise Matters

Never fold your arms. Hold your documents in your left hand so your right is free for the handshake. Do not place your hands on the table in a steeple shape – you will not get the job by resembling Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.

 

The Perfect Fit

Wearing clothes that are too loose conveys the impression of inexperience and sloppiness. Jacket sleeves should just cover the wrist bone. Get suits that are made of at least 50% wool – the natural fibers ensure clothes hang better.

 

Imitation is the Best Form of Flattery

When recruiters from a company you desire to join give a talk at your institution, note what they wear. Before your interview date, call up to ask about the dress code and company culture. The more you look like you belong, the more likely you will be hired.

 

Tame your Tresses

Hair should be neat, away from your face and preferably in a color found in nature

The first 50 shoppers who spend $50 at any shop in Suntec City Mall will get a free makeover from beauty chain Sasa (#02-099), goody bag from The Face Shop (#02-097) or shopping vouchers from The Stage (#01-121). Valid every Saturday and Sunday till 29 March 09.
