Do I need to wear formal clothes for an interview in a small company?

"Go to a small company for an interview. Do I need to wear a formal suit?

This is really a particularly representative issue.

Interview, for everyone, is a very common and familiar scene and belongs to the front desk workplace. Mr. Song has been engaged in human resources for several years, and it is common for him to interview and recruit every year. He told me that the comprehensive presentation of the interviewer's professional image can at least help them directly screen out more than 50% people at a time-this is the truth of the industry.

There is no direct answer to this question, whether to wear it or not, because the industry attribute of the interview company determines the image direction we will choose.

Simply put, creative companies (advertising, design, art, public relations, etc. ), general modern companies (most ordinary private enterprises such as Internet and real estate) and professional companies (law firms, investment banks, brokers, etc.). ) the requirements for dress are getting higher and higher.

Creative companies have always rejected rigid and conservative workplace modeling-because rigidity means killing inspiration. Just imagine, after talking about cooperation for a long time, who is willing to give the plan to an old-fashioned nice guy? We can try to wear some clothes with strong style and personal identity. After all, style represents personal thought and tonality. If you are not confident about your experience, I suggest you mix casual and formal clothes, and then add your own aesthetic details, such as personalized patterns and accessories-a green tie or a specially spliced fabric.

Generally, most companies have a sense of formal dress, but at present, the domestic formal dress culture is not strong. We can wear the suit separately, which is more convenient to integrate into the big environment. In order to avoid losing the vitality of newcomers, men's ties are not easy to be too wide. It is more modest to choose flat lapels for suits (lapels for supervisors and above are more powerful), and women's shirts can choose soft top styles instead of straight shirts. The colors are champagne, light blue and grayish green (more emotional than white shirts) to increase affinity.

For professional or authoritative workplaces, please refer to the strictest formal dress code for men and women. Men follow the classic combination of "shirt+tie+suit", and wearing a single-breasted dark suit will be very suitable (if it is a partner level, you can wear a striped double-breasted suit, which will be more in place in the presentation of momentum). Dark gray and navy blue are preferred in color. If you are in the financial industry, you can also choose a plaid suit, which is more open. Don't worry about the shirt. It's either white or blue. It goes well with all ties and is very worry-free. Ladies' skirts are just above the knee, silk shirts are neatly ironed, and silk scarves with low saturation colors will be more elegant. Men wear black lace-up Oxford shoes, and women wear dark 5-6 cm high-heeled boat shoes. In addition, wearing high-grade leather watches will add points to the overall elite image, regardless of gender.

I went to an interview for the first time after graduating from college. I didn't have a chance to get dress guidance, and I didn't have any reference. I bought a black suit with a white shirt. Now I feel that the suit is not hot and the white shirt is old-fashioned. I think I am beautiful, my waist-length hair is not neat, and my vitality in my twenties is not shown at all. Sometimes I often think that if I have the chance to cross it once, I really want to show it again.

Well, for today's question, the last point, no matter how big or small the company is, it is extremely necessary to show your professional status and sincerity in the interview. Therefore, prepare carefully, use industry standards instead of company size to demand yourself, so that when you enter any circle, you look like "people in that circle."
