Steps
• Be formal (no matter what the regular dress code
is at the job). The only exceptions to this are if you are
interviewing somewhere that they tell you specifically what
to wear for your own safety (such as at a factory). For
most interviews, a suit is the appropriate attire. A blue
suit works the best and it gives you a lot of versatility
in terms of shirt and tie choice. Light or dark grey are
also good conservative choices. A three button suit will
look good on almost anyone, while a 2 button will give a
slightly taller/slimmer appearance.
• Choose a solid white or blue shirt. You don’t want
to look too flashy with a brightly colored shirt, and
striped (and especially patterned) shirts are a little less
formal. A straight collar is also more formal than a button
down. Choose one with a medium spread. (If you have a
particularly large neck, a wider collar may look better.)
• Wear a tie in a dark, conservative color (never
pink). Stick to solids, rep (diagonal striped) or small
patterned ties. A red tie will give the friendly politician
look, while blue ties give a more serious FBI agent look.
Both are acceptable.
• Wear a belt or suspenders, but never both at the
same time. It’s redundant. If you’re a suspenders kind of
guy, get buttons sewed into your trousers and wear
suspenders that button on, not the cheap clip-on kind. They
will make you look cheap.
• Show off your shoes. A pair of black oxfords or
cap-toed oxfords is the best choice. Get ones that don’t
have super thick soles so they won’t look like boots.
• Wear solid, vertically ribbed socks in black or
grey. Get socks that are long enough to cover your legs
when you sit down in your suit. Socks should always match
the color of your trousers.
Tips
• A nice watch rounds out the outfit. You don’t have
to spend a fortune on a Tag Heuer. Fossil and Timex make
nice enough looking watches that can fool almost anyone.
• If you are lucky enough to be asked for a second
interview, simply changing the shirt and tie combination
can give the look of a whole new outfit, even if you don’t
have another suit.
• Remember to turn off your cell phone before you go.
• Although it seems counterintuitive to wear another
layer, putting on an undershirt will keep sweat from
getting on your dress shirt and showing exactly how nervous
you really are. The bonus is that your white shirt will
look whiter with a white undershirt. Choose a white short-
sleeved tee in favor of an athletic undershirt.
• Make sure your dress shirts’ tails are long enough
that they stay tucked in. Refresh your tuck right before
the interview in the nearest restroom: unzip your fly and
reach in to pull the front tail downwards, to align the
placket with your trouser hitch and belt buckle.
• Wear unscented deodorant and no cologne
Warnings
• It is imperative that your clothes are clean and
pressed. If you never iron your clothes, iron just this
once for your interview. You could also drop your clothes
off at the dry cleaners.
• Some dress shoes can be slippery, and literally
falling on your face is not the impression you want to
make. Look for shoes with rubber inserts for traction.
• Also make sure your shoes are shined and the heels
aren’t worn down. If the heels are worn down, you can have
them repaired at a cobbler.
• Don’t get a watch that beeps. Don’t ever wear a
digital watch.
• Some of the more technical organizations you may
interview with have a “we don’t hire suits” custom. Check
beforehand with the firm’s HR contact to inquire about this.
Pay attention to your interview body language – it plays a
critical role in determining how you come across in the job
interview! Non-verbal communication accounts for over 90%
of the message you are sending the interviewer.
Steps
• Sit properly. Sit upright but in a relaxed fashion
leaning slightly forward at about a 10 to 15 degree angle
towards the interviewer. This sends the message that you
are an interested and involved candidate.
• Be aware of your hands. The best thing to do with
your hands is to rest them loosely clasped in your lap or
on the table, if there is one. Fiddling with hair, face or
neck sends the message of anxiety and uncertainty. Body
language experts agree that touching the nose, lips or ears
can signal that the candidate is lying.
• Don’t cross your arms. Folding arms across the
chest suggests a defensive type of position. It sends the
message that the candidate is feeling threatened and ill-at-
ease and is shutting the interviewer out. It can also send
the message that the candidate does not agree with or buy
into what the interviewer is saying.
• Place both feet on the floor. Crossing feet at the
ankles or placing them both flat on the floor sends a
message of confidence and professionalism. Jiggling or
moving the legs creates an irritating distraction and
indicates nervousness. Resting an ankle on the opposite
knee looks arrogant and too casual, crossing the legs high
up appears defensive.
• Maintain direct eye contact. Keeping direct eye
contact with the interviewer indicates active listening and
interest. Eyes that dart around suggest dishonesty. Looking
down gives the impression of low self-esteem.
• Be conscious of mouth movements. Pursing the lips
or twisting them sideways shows disapproval of what is
being heard. Biting your lips suggests nervousness. Try to
relax your mouth.
• Position your head. Keeping your head straight
looks self-assured and authoritative, it sends the message
that you should be taken seriously. For a more friendly and
relaxed look tilt your head slightly to one side. Nod your
head every now and then to show you are listening closely.
Tips
• Don’t overdo direct eye contact; too much contact
without breaks can make the other person extremely
uncomfortable and can be suggestive that you are
domineering.
Steps
• Arrive in the area 30 minutes early. Find a quiet
cafe, relax and take your mind off of the commute. Iced
mint tea is always nice.
• Keep your cool. You probably will not get the job
if you let the employer see how nervous you are.
• Answer only the questions that the interviewers
ask you and do not offer other information.
• Be polite and don’t insult the employer. Know that
he or she could have many more people to interview.
• Do not take offense to anything the interviewer
says. If they do not give you the job, do not let it stop
you from trying to get another job.
• Be very forward in everything you say and in your
actions.
• Try not to confuse the employer. Be careful of
what you say and realize that your employment is on the
line!
Tips
• Be confident
• Sit straight
• Look up and at the interviewer
• Always write a thank you letter to the person who
interviewed you!
