Clothing for an interview


Question Posted Sunday August 13 2006, 8:02 pm

So I just got called in tomorrow for an interview at this really trendy store at the mall. They sell brands like DKNY, Guess et cetera.
What should I wear to my interview? I don't have any time to get my dress pants tailored but I guess I could get it done if I really needed to, but they don't wear dress pants to work and I know I should anyway btu I thought maybe a skirt would work. I have a peasant skirts that I could wear, I have them in black, white and blue. I know I shouldn't wear camisoles without anything on over but are sleeveless tops ok or no?
I also bought two pairs of ballet flat shoes. One is black and the other is a rusted golden colour so should I try to match?
I also want to look really in style and I have a wide belt that cinches my waist and it's black so that might go with the skirt.
I just got side bangs too and I don't know what to do with my hair. I can straighten it but should I let it loose or tie it into a ponytail or braid with a matching ribbon or is that too much?

And I guess I don't need to wear flat shoes for an interview.
My legs look a lot better in heels but should they be closed toe or is peep-toe ok too? And them to be too crazy.

Thanks everyone, I got the job!

Well, go for successful, but not boring. stay away from the color gray, shoot for blue or red. Hope this helped.

Wear a camisole, a nice blouse over it, dress pants, heels. Maybe a long necklace and cute earrings (no hoops). Put your hair in a messy bun with one piece in front down. Natural makeup- a little bit of eyeliner, mascara, natural (beige or light brown) eyeshadow, a little blush, and a natural lip gloss. Good luck!

how my mom says it is wear anything that you would wear to church. Like dress presentable. where your best mature outfit that looks like it would fit their dress code. i would avoid the peasant skirt unless you have nothing else i would wear the dress pants if you really can. i wouldnt wear the flat ballet shoes.. heals would be better if you have them and i would avoid the belt. and i would wear close toed because that is usually the dress code for most places. i am guessing you are a teenager so you want to look as adult as you can like no side ponytails or braids because you are entering the adult work force

wear somthing you are comfortable in. you are going to be working at a "trendy store" if they hire you. so dress how you would if you were going to be working there that day. show them that you can "fit in" [i guess you could say] with the rest of the staff, and the image of the store. i would suggest not wearing a cami though. wear something that isn't that revealing. don't act like you were trying too hard to impress them [of course you are trying to impress them] but act as if your style come naturally. if you are going to go with the heels, make sure they are closed toe. most stores don't like opened toe. once you get the job, they'll tell you the dress code. :]
GOOD LUCK, darling.
