Dress for the interview

1. Six golden rules of interview dress

Moderate: conservative traditional professional clothes

Many people think that it is rare to have an interview opportunity and they must make a splash, so they buy a lot of fashionable and avant-garde clothes and plan to "charm" the recruitment manager. This is a big misunderstanding, and ordinary formal enterprises appreciate the traditional conservative formal dress. When buying clothes, you should pay attention to the stability and professionalism of the style, and you don't have to prepare clothes specifically for a certain industry. Because in the process of job hunting, you will interview enterprises in different industries and choose a style that can be accepted by all industries, so as to keep changing.

Good quality and low price: who uses famous brands?

Due to the limited economic conditions, it is difficult for students to afford more expensive clothes, which is completely understandable by the recruitment company and nobody cares. If a classmate wears an expensive suit to attend the interview, the hiring manager may think that you are from a rich family, and the meager salary of this position is simply not enough to bear such a huge clothing expenditure. I estimate that you will start from the most junior position in a quiet way. If you apply for a foreign company, then domestic famous brands have no feelings for white-collar workers there, while foreign medium-sized famous brands cost several thousand yuan and high-grade famous brands cost ten thousand yuan. Hiring managers in foreign companies rarely wear such expensive clothes. Students can pay attention to what is professional and what is taste in job fairs and lectures given by managers of foreign companies. They can also often discuss with their roommates or even consult their brothers and sisters who have already worked in foreign companies, and then buy clothes with the same style but moderate price. These practices are very desirable.

Spotless: the value and score of cleanliness

No matter how decent you dress, you must keep it clean and tidy. If there are oil stains, sweat stains and stains everywhere, it is better not to wear them. Especially in cities like Beijing, the dust is more serious, and clothes often get dirty after wearing them for one day. If you don't wash it for a few days, the degree of dirt can be imagined. At that time, I was afraid that the white shirt would turn into black jeans. Therefore, ensuring the cleanliness of clothes is the minimum requirement.

Flat as new: wrinkles and discounts

The clothes you wear in the interview must be ironed or wrinkle-free. If you can't iron clothes at school, you might as well hang them with a hanger. As long as you pay attention when storing, the clothes can still be kept flat. Ask your roommates to take care of each other at this time, so that you won't be bothered by wrinkled clothes on the morning of the interview.

No odor: bathing can also wash shortcomings.

Although the school conditions may not be as convenient as taking a bath whenever you want, you must go to the bathroom to take a good bath before the interview, otherwise the strange smell after sweating will definitely make the hiring manager very disgusted, and he will imagine that the young staff with strange smell will scare away customers. So I suggest you overcome all difficulties and do personal hygiene before the interview.

Don't be messy: get a haircut and tidy up the mess.

Going to an interview with unkempt hair will inevitably make the recruiter have a bad impression on you, and think that people like you who are not good at managing time and can't take care of themselves can't do their jobs well. This impression is not good for you at any time, let alone during an interview.

2. Elegant professional women's wear

Long hair or short hair?

In recent years, you can see some smart and capable professional women in many commercial enterprises. One of their characteristics is "short hair". Of course, not all excellent professional women have short hair. There is no need to emphasize that every girl who wants to participate in the interview should have her hair cut, just to provide you with a more common situation as a reference: young professional women have short hair, which is also widely recognized by the society.

Long hair is not necessary. Female secretaries in companies usually have shoulder-length hair or medium-long hair. Some women can manage their long hair properly, but not all women are good at managing their long hair. During the interview, the hair will inevitably be tossed around by the hiring manager as a deliberate "discharge". Therefore, from the perspective of "insurance", short hair is easier to take care of and more professional.

The color of cosmetics

Generally speaking, when going to a formal interview with a Chinese or foreign company, women need to wear a little light makeup to look more energetic. If they go to the interview with a plain face, it is easy to lose points because of their true colors of "sallow and emaciated" and "dusty". Generally speaking, women should at least work hard on their eyebrows, lips and cheeks. Only when you look rosy and full of vigor can you be more amiable and capable, and you will be respected by your colleagues and customers.

Avoid heavy make-up, which is not the spirit of professional women, especially young women. First, it is not in line with the company style that advocates efficiency. You are likely to be one hour late in the morning because you "paint the wall" every morning. Secondly, if you meet a picky female boss, your heavy makeup and youthful vitality may lead to her jealousy and rejection; Third, as a student who hasn't graduated, the light makeup of simple student temperament not only conforms to his own identity, but also meets the requirements of the interview.

Nail polish and long nails

If you are not an artist or a rich woman, but a woman pursuing a formal career, don't wear nail polish or grow long nails. As a job-seeking graduate, all dressing should be based on the principle of specialization. You might as well observe women in regular companies. They seldom apply nail polish and often trim their nails.

Attachment selection

In order to make some embellishments on the plain suit to lift the spirit, some women will choose some small and exquisite ornaments to match it. Accessories don't need to be expensive, as long as they are simple, bright and generous. Too eye-catching and cumbersome accessories will usurp the role of the owner and increase the burden. The hiring manager's score on the interview evaluation form is not directly proportional to the market price of the accessories you wear.

A set of incomplete.

Women's suits are more delicate and complicated than men's suits in collocation. Men's wear requires matching with the same color, while women's wear can be matched between different suits, and different colors can also set off each other. But the general principle is that dark color is appropriate. Different seasons and different regions can adapt appropriately. Choose dark colors in autumn and winter, and slightly lighter colors in spring and summer. Light colors can be worn in the south, and dark colors are more suitable in the north. However, no matter what season or region, if you only buy formal clothes, dark suits are the safest and safest. You can observe what professional women in regular companies wear at job fairs and in peacetime.

As many people know, in a very formal foreign company, professional women can only wear skirts and long-sleeved suits regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the weather is cold and warm. In China, many foreign women wear trousers and short sleeves to work, which is also very professional and has been accepted by the culture of foreign companies, so it is not necessary to strictly abide by foreign rules when preparing for interview dress.

Length and width of skirt

Women's clothes should not be too short, too exposed, and the air should not be too high, otherwise the slightest movement will be embarrassing. When sitting, keep your legs together. Speaking of skirt styles, I suggest you observe the color and taste of professional women's dresses in foreign companies at ordinary times, and find out the style that suits your body shape and temperament among different styles.

I'm not afraid of broken socks.

The color of socks should be flesh-colored, as long as they are properly matched with clothes, black and white are acceptable. The style and taste of collocation can accumulate more experience in usual observation. In addition, at least one or two pairs of spare socks should be put in the bag, so that they can be changed at any time when they are broken to avoid embarrassment. The length of stockings should ensure that the hind legs will not show their original color when sitting down.

Shoes hold up half the sky.

Black leather shoes are the most traditional and safest. Don't have too many flowers on your shoes, and don't be too fancy. The heel should not be too high, it is easy to sprain the ankle when walking, and every step carefully will appear unconfident. Heels should not be too low. Flat shoes are usually worn casually and are not suitable for formal occasions.

Three bags for professional women in new york

When some large enterprises are training in international business etiquette, trainers will ask questions in class: What three packages are necessary for professional women in new york? Most people can only guess the cosmetic bag and briefcase, and the third bag is the sports bag. Cosmetic bags are generally the size of B5 paper, used to hold cosmetics, wallets, keys, etc. The briefcase can hold at least A4 paper documents, and the sports bag is used to hold sports clothes for the gym.

Students who go to the interview are advised to bring only a briefcase to put down their resumes and other supporting materials. There are also some cosmetic tools, identity documents and wallets to be prepared in the briefcase. Tall girls can use lighter computer bags. If a little girl uses a big computer bag, it will be very uncoordinated and inconvenient to move.

Sexy heartthrob

A girl went to a well-known state-owned enterprise to apply for a job and wore a big suit. Because the shirt is too loose and low-cut, the sexy underwear inside can be seen at a glance, and it is easy to be mistaken for "relying on women's capital" and applying for "Xiaomi" candidates.

This girl obviously has a misunderstanding about the formal company, and everyone has a love for beauty. Exquisite and dignified appearance can naturally win a lot of goodwill, but enchanting and sexy is not what regular companies pursue. Ordinary regular companies will not hire a sexy and disorderly female employee to make waves and disturb the morale of the army. Therefore, it is easy for hiring managers to put such people in the cold.

Short, revealing and penetrating clothes are absolutely not desirable, and underwear wearing and underwear exposure are also not allowed in regular companies. On the contrary, the more conservative the dress, the better for the hiring manager. In summer, some companies can't wait to post the dress code to avoid the dazzling "atypical" working atmosphere.

Environmentalism runs through China and the West.

Formal professional women's wear does not include leather clothes, leather pants and leather skirts. Due to the growing awareness of protecting nature all over the world, fabrics that prevent killing animals cannot be generally accepted for protecting animals.

Comments on Ms. Li, Recruitment Manager of Human Resources Department of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

As employees of Chinese-funded institutions, we don't require girls to be very particular about clothes. We just want to remind you not to dress too sexy. The top management in the enterprise is very concerned about this and very alert, for fear of attracting some "vases" to show off in the office.

If you pay attention to women's clothing, there will be endless changes in style, collocation and grade, and you can "compensate" all the money. According to the highest requirements, office women have to change a set of clothes every day, but the income of newly graduated students is only a few thousand yuan, which is bound to make ends meet. Therefore, we still hope that girls' clothes are as simple and natural as possible, and the beauty of simplicity is better than the beauty of luxury. We only ask girls to keep their clothes clean and tidy, and suits, coats and skirts should not be wrinkled. These requirements can be met without spending more money.

We don't make any demands or suggestions on hairstyles, but we can convey some information to you: women in the company prefer short hair. Some students go to great lengths to get a perm for the interview, but I don't think it's necessary, because a perm looks like a simple and mature person, which is extremely disproportionate to a student's identity.

Just wear a little light makeup during the interview and avoid heavy makeup. Every year we meet some "smart girls" who come for interviews, and the hiring manager feels the same way. Heavy make-up will only make people feel disgusted.
