Necktie Plain
On the day of your interview for that new job, everything has to be perfect, including your clothes. You will come across countless books and articles out there that will tell you that getting hired through the job interview is all about projecting the right image. Even if your resume is not the best in the bunch, your outfit could help you make that impression which will give your application an edge over your competition.
Always Office Attire
If you plan to set foot into any office, a suit and a tie are absolute necessities and it is hard to go wrong with that combination. A black suit, crisp white shirt, solid colored tie and good-quality black leather shoes can bring you just about anywhere, from the reception desk to the CEOs office. You should already have at least one of each of these male wardrobe staples by now and it is time to get them if you have not already.
Your overall appearance will have a great impact on the impression that you make, so don't stop with thinking just about what you are wearing. Consider everything that will be on your person, from the cufflinks on your shirt to the bag you will be carrying, if any. Many a well-dressed applicant has been nixed simply because he made the faux pas of bringing a slouchy backpack or a shopping bag with him into the interview area.
Restrain Yourself!
One thing you will have to learn about dressing for job interviews are the limits for how to dress. It is easy to make the mistake of dressing too much in a certain way too dressy, too casual or too formal. Each of these excesses gives a negative impression to the interviewer, and that spells bad news for your application.
Be careful not to be too casual with your interview day outfit. Novelty ties, for example, should be a no-no for the interview room. Forget about that red and green reindeer-print tie, even if you are having the interview on Christmas Eve. Stick to just the staples: plain shirts and ties if you can help it and nothing larger than very small checks if it is really necessary.
At the same time, it is also possible to be too formal, and that's a no-no as well. A tie-and-tux combination, for example, will look comical instead of formal in the interview room; the interviewer will probably think you are trying to make a joke. Even suits that are clearly premium- or designer-brand are risky, even when you are after executive slots. After all, why hire somebody if he can still pay for premium, name-brand clothes?
In An Interview
Remember that it is you and not your clothes that should be the star of the show. The message you send to the interviewer does not necessarily have to be something like I can dress well and do the job,although that would not hurt. As long as you can convey the message I can do the job and will make prudent and safe choices as an employee, your interview day ensemble will have done its job.
