Dress Code:

Deciding what you’re going to wear to an interview is just as important and preparing answers for interview questions. Your clothing choice reflects how you present yourself and who you are. Dressing smart for an interview, even if it’s not your usual style, shows your interest in the company and overall professionalism.

The following article outlines several things to avoid when choosing your interview attire including:
- Wearing too much perfume or aftershave
- Casual clothing such as hoodies and tracksuit bottoms
- Revealing clothing
- Inappropriate footwear

Tips for women:
-Don’t overdo the jewellery – nothing too chunky or dangly. Also avoid anything that gives you the urge to fiddle with it.

- Keep the heels moderate (3 inches max) but avoid completely flat shoes unless you really need them.

- Be sure to coordinate – navy with navy suits, black with grey.

- No too much cleavage – it looks unprofessional.

- If you opt for a dress instead of a suit, it needs to be sleek, sculpted and mostly a solid dark colour.

Tips for men:
- Ties should be low key. This is no place for comedy or cartoon characters (unless you auditioning for such roles).

- Wear leather shoes and a matching belt.

- Go for a plain shirt in a traditional colour – white or pale blue. Beware of pink!

- Your suit needs to fit you well. Get yourself measured and fitted by a professional. If you’re on a budget, you can get some affordable official suit in the local market. You can also do mix and match, so shop around.
