David Livingstone Anrakia Charles Demaki Ze Don Jr. Salvado Sorenza Rafiki Wa Kweli za na wengineo wooote: SOMO LA LEO: What Not to Wear to an Interview; 1. Carrying a backpack or fannypack instead of a briefcase or portfolio: Some image consultants suggest women ditch their purse, too! 2. Sunglasses on top of your head or headphones around your neck: Be sure to remove all yourtransit gear and tuck it in your briefcase before entering the lobby. 3. Too-short skirts: Forget what some of those gals on The Apprentice are wearing. Your skirt should cover your thighs when you are seated. 4. The wrong tie: Ties should be made of silk, no less than three and a quarter inches wide with a conservative pattern. Image consultants say the best colors are red or burgundy. 5. Overly bright or large-patterned clothing: With the possible exception of creative fields like advertising or computer programming, its best to stick with navy, black or gray. 6. Heavy makeup on women (or any makeup on a man) 7. Earrings on men: In fact, men should avoid wearing any jewelry unless it is a wedding ring, class ring or metal watch. 8. More than one set of earrings on women 9. Facial piercings, tongue jewelry or visible tattoos 10. Ill-fitting clothes. Few people can wear things straight off the rack. Spending a little extra to have your garments tailored is a worthwhile investment. 11. Long fingernails, especially with bright or specialty polishes. Nails should look clean and be trimmed to a length that doesnt leave an observer wondering how you keep from stabbing yourself. 12. Unnatural hair colors or styles. Remember,Donald Trump was a billionaire well before he began wearing a comb-over. If youre balding, try a close-cropped cut like Bruce Willis or Matt Lauer. 13. Short-sleeved shirts, even worse when worn with a tie 14. Fishnets, patterned hosiery or bare legs (no matter how tan you are). Women should stick with neutral color hosiery that complements their suit. 15. Men whose socks dont match their shoes, or whose socks are too short and leave a gap of flesh when they are seated 16. Rumpled or stained clothing: If interviewing late in the day, try to change to a fresh suit beforehand. 17. Scuffed or inappropriate footwear, including sneakers, stilettos, open-toed shoes and sandals 18. Strong aftershaves, perfumes or colognes: Many people are allergic to certain scents. For a subtle fragrance, use a good quality bath soap. 19. Belts and shoes that dont match: Shoes and belts should be made of leather or leather-like materials and the best colors for men are black or cordovan. 20. Telltale signs that your wearing a new suit. Remove all tags and extra buttons -- and remember to cut off the zigzag thread that keeps pockets and slits closed! Dont be a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Plan and lay out what youre going to wear several days before the interview, so youll have time to shop or get garments pressed and cleaned. Save innovative or revealing garb for the club (or your couch) and strive for crisp, clean and professional. Remember, you want the interviewer to be listening to what youre saying, not critiquing what youre wearing.
