FABRICS Stay away from velvet, vinyl, shiny, furry, slinky materials Fabrics recommended are those that do not wrinkle easily TIP 1: Purchase fabrics that have a small percentage of lycra that adds comfort and resists creases. Suggested fabrics are polyester, wool (suits), cotton shirts TIP 2: When purchasing a suit, twist the fabric of the sleeves and hold it in place for 10 seconds, if it wrinkles then think twice about the purchase

SHOES POLISH and SHINE your shoes! Always wear socks TIP: Make sure socks are high enough to cover skin when sitting down You should be able to walk comfortably in your shoes i.e. Heels should not be too high GENTLEMEN should stay away from steel toes and other rugged shoes NEVER wear open toe shoes!

Dress for Success

HAIR & MAKEUP Style hair as conservatively as possible Do not dye hair color too flashy e.g. red, green, etc. Wear as little makeup as possible Don’t wear brightly colored lipsticks or eye shadows, too much blush because the interviewer might not like it or it may accidentally get on your clothing

PERSONAL HYGIENE ALWAYS take a shower before the interview Wear antiperspirant in case you get nervous Brush your teeth before the interview Don’t chew gum, eat a breath mint instead Don’t wear heavy smelling perfumes/cologne, it may irritate the interviewer Have clean finger nails and hands Stay away from nail polish if possible.

Grooming – men shave skincare manicures teeth personal hygiene one in four men do not shower daily dirty fingernails go uncleaned mostly

Grooming - women skincare hair – cut, colour, condition make-up perfume – be careful manicure / pedicure teeth A recent survey showed that women who wear make-up have a competitive edge over their bare faced colleagues The Times, 30th December 2003 Women who wear make-up earn, on average, 20% more than women who wear no make-up
