Your clothes say about YOU

In an interview your attire plays a supporting role

Your conduct, your interpersonal skills and your ability to articulate intelligent and well-thought-out responses to questions are the most important elements.

Appropriate attire

WELL FITTING

Never confuse an interview or business function with a social event

Basic professional attire

OTHER ACCESSORIES- JEWELLERY

EAR RINGS Earrings have gained popularity for both genders in recent years, but they really are only appropriate for females in the career fair/interviewing arena. Wear one pair of simple earrings for these events.

WATCHES AND RINGS Watches are good for both genders, - same caliber as the rest of your appearance. Rings and bracelets can be worn but in moderation and if they are essential to you. One ring is most appropriate.

Jewelry should never be a distraction for you or the employer.
