The Power Suit:
You have graduated from college and the pencil skirt ladies. Hit the pavement with confidence and power and invest in a suit. I know it seems scary and looks serious but that’s the look you want. A power suit says “I’m professional, I can pull myself together, and I can represent your company”. No need for designer labels unless you can splurge for that. Banana Republic or J. Crew should suit you just fine
Closed Toe Shoes Only:
I’m sure your new pedicure is beautiful but ladies, keep ‘em tucked away for now! When interviewing for a big girl job, the last thing you want your interviewer focused on is your freshly painted perfectly polished toe-nails: I cannot stress this enough: NO OPEN TOED SHOES! Flats, heels, booties, flat boots would all suffice for this look. Absolutely no sneakers or stilettoes (if you can’t walk properly it’s not a good look)
No Tank Tops Allowed:
If your shoulders are visible that’s not professional. Remember, you have not been hired yet, it doesn’t matter if it’s 90 degrees out; bring a change of clothes and do a quick change before you go in to avoid sweat stains.
Find a Happy Medium Between too Tight & too Loose:
Yes ladies there is a difference and it is HUGE. You’re trying to walk away with a job, not a couple of phone numbers so leave your tight pants for the club and go with a comfier looser look. Test your pants before you go; if you comfortably do a squat without fear of ripping the pants you have on, you’re clear.
