Five Must-Have Items to Nail Your Job Interview

seo-img-article

Admit it, no matter how splendid our resume is, first impression always lasts. Employers, as we are too, often judge their prospective employees by how professional they present themselves. Whether you are an experienced professional looking for a new challenge or a fresh graduate, do read through our recommendations here. Showing up with a professional getup is a sign that you appreciate your prospective employer by making the effort to look pulled together, and employers do take notice. Dress the part and make sure you are prepared.

To prepare for your big day, here are five items that we’ve picked to perfect your look:

1. Blazer or Jacket in Neutral Color. Owning a pair of coordinating simple-cut blazer and a skirt or pants is a must, and the safest bet to wear. It is also a staple item for anyone, as you will find the occasion when this pair will come handy. I would choose a slim-cut blazer for its flattering shape. Slim-cut does not mean tight. It means that the cutting better represents the natural curves. If this is not the case, then skip that piece, and go with another.

However, depending on how the job that you are applying for, you don’t always have to wear this to a job interview. You can pair up a neutral color blazer with a demure-colored pants. You can also throw a blazer over a structured dark-colored dress. I always have a go-to blazer to throw over my regular work clothes, just to make it less obvious that I will be running later to an interview for another job :p. Drape blazers are not off-limits. I actually prefer this for the lightweight material. Here are our picks:
