Having already discussed your New Year Career Advice in the You Time blog, now it’s time to consider your job interview attire. Having decided that you want a fresh start for your career, you will have sent out your CV and applications and have been awaiting responses. If you’ve been lucky enough to hear back from employers and have bagged yourself an interview(s), then the next step is: what to wear? You may just consider throwing on your staple suit and black shoes, but there is a little more to it than that. Firstly, think about the type of job you are applying for and what kind of interview you will be attending. By this, it means will the interview be formal or casual. When you’ve found these details out then you can go on to the next step. Distinguishing what type of interview it will be is easily done. If you are applying for a creative type job then casual attire will be suitable. However, when attending an interview for a bank, law firm or office job , smart, formal attire is more appropriate.

So does it really matter what you wear to an interview? According to some career professionals, how you dress can cost you your job. We at Chic and the London escorts have to agree, your attire can be a huge benefactor. Once you have a response from a job posting, you should know whether it is consider a casual or formal interview. Distinguishing between this will help you with deciding what to wear. In the conservative business world, appearances matter. In the more creative field, it isn’t as important. It’s all about common sense. You wouldn’t rock up to a meeting with a big banking exec wearing jeans would you? However, the same can be said to someone going for an interview at a laid back creative firm. Casual attire tends to be the dress code here. The lovely London escorts recommend you do a bit of homework first.

Regardless of who the interview is with, it makes sense to dress your best for an interview. Remember that an interview is your very first and possibly last chance to impress what could be your future employers. A well dressed, groomed man is always going to seem more appealing than one that looks a little rough around the edges. Unless of course you’re a builder? If you’re not sure what to wear for an interview, then it is best to err on the side of caution. Settle for a touch of conservatism with a casual edge. It is always best to turn up looking a little overdressed and formal then the opposite. If you are still a little nervous and unsure of what to wear, then you can always ask. On accepting an interview slot, always ask them what the dress code is. This way, you can be given the go ahead to turn up in trainers or are prepared to get shining those smart black shoes and dry clean your suite. Good luck!
