    My mom made me wear a dress and some big coverup jacket that made me look like some grandma.
    I did not hear back from target after that interview. I blame my being overdressed.

    The interview starts as soon as you walk through the building doors, dress to impress! I wear a two piece skirt suit (black) basic makeup, manicured nails (French or nude), minimal and simple jewelry. Also, nude pantyhose ladies! I also agree with kitten heels too. It’s worked for me!

It is an awesome one of a kind guide for revealing the secret to master interviews and get the job minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy at last got excellent results with it.

    Great tips. First impressions are important. Your interviewer knows little to nothing about you so they look at everything about you from what you wear, your body language and of course, your education and experience.

  • @claras.3963
    @claras.3963 2 роки тому +12

    I think the most important thing is to know if the company is more on the traditional side or modern and dress according to their image... It would look ridiculous if you go in a suit while applying for a job as a surfing instructor, the same way as it would be weird to dress to casual for a job in a old school finance firm

  • @amykmason

    I love your channel and agree with the advice given here. I would add, nude hosiery for the women (I know it's stylish to go without, but you never know, your interviewer may judge you for it!), and I like to wear a vintage brooch in good shape, too, that's just me. I always wear one that belonged to one of my grandmothers for good luck!

    TIP……Hosiery/Stocking
    and I really don’t care if its 95 degrees outside right after the interview you
    can take them off. I was helping interview people once and the H/R head said to
    me “I do not hire ladies with bare legs”. She told me they don’t know if stocking
    are mandatory or not to wear at this company. It’s an old fashioned mind frame,
    but I do it when I have interviews to go on. Retail not so much. I love the advice you give.

    Well you can tell this is pre-covid. Who goes into the office for an interview? All interviews are done via Teams or Zoom so don't really have to worry about the shoes.

    Hi Linda, do you have any tips for people who go for an interview for a creative position? I am a graphic designer and I never know what's the best way to dress for an interview. I feel like if I dress as formal as you have described in this video it will look a bit inappropriate. Is it okay to show your style at an interview for a creative position but still dress a bit more formal then normally? For example, a light colour blazer, a white t-shirt, black jeans (not ripped) and clean trainers? Are jeans and trainers okay to wear anyway for a creative position interview?

    • @thecarrotindustry7521
      @thecarrotindustry7521 5 років тому

      Show your creativity in your outfit. Basically, it can depend on dress codes, but bright colors and complementing patterns may be used to really show off your creativity. Have fun with your outfits. If you can add some flair while still looking professional, it may even set you above the other applicants. Rooting for you!
