I am a graduating college student, and I am about to face an interview, but I don't know what to wear.

On the topic of interview dress, if you compare the model with the real thing, you should talk about it for at least a whole day. But here, we can also discuss some necessary writing common sense and common misunderstandings, and point out which styles are safer and more secure, and which are "common diseases", "frequently-occurring diseases" and even "infectious diseases" among students.

The following six principles have two characteristics. First, you can score even full marks on clothes without spending a penny. Second, even if you spend a lot of money, if you don't pay attention to the parts that don't cost money, such as cleanliness, you will lose points or even lose points.

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.

3. Formal professional men's wear

Split, Flat and Split

Hair is often cut, leaving it too long will give people a feeling that it is not refreshing enough. Generally speaking, it is normal to get a haircut once a month, and the cycle of job hunting can be shorter.

Keep your hair clean. If possible, wash your hair once a day, otherwise your hair will smell of sweat or stink. You can't have dandruff in your hair, so don't go to the hiring manager with frost on your shoulder. At present, there are many shampoos on the market that have anti-dandruff function, so you might as well buy more and use more.

Sometimes you get a good haircut, but when you trudge to the interview company, your hairstyle is already messy all the way. At this time, you can go to the bathroom to look in the mirror and comb your hair. These measures don't cost much. You can get extra points or even full marks if you do it, and you will lose points if you don't do it.

Of course, some people's hair is in poor natural conditions and it is difficult to arrange it. These students can use some hair care products, such as mousse, hair cream and styling water, but they should also pay attention to their different functions. For example, some brands of styling water have different strength levels. If the level is too low, the hairstyle will get out of control and will disappear sooner or later. If the intensity level is too high, the hair will be like steel wire. Before styling with hair care products, you can use a hair dryer to dry the styling, which has a good effect. In addition, you can also ask the barber for some common sense and precautions of hair care when you have a haircut, or do nursing and styling in the barber shop before the interview.

As for hairstyle, parting is the most common, and parting is rare. Although everyone has their own specific circumstances, some people think that they are suitable for wearing a hairstyle with a middle point, in fact, most successful candidates, bosses and managers of Chinese and foreign enterprises do not wear a middle point. So, to be on the safe side, at least don't leave a split hairstyle during the interview. In addition to parting, some people will have a flat head. Although the flat head looks spiritual, it should not be too short, otherwise it will not look solemn and mature enough.

Five senses without tube

Don't grow a beard, keep your cheeks clean. Generally speaking, adult men should insist on shaving once every morning. But if some students have never shaved, and the delicate milk hair is neither long nor messy, there is no need to force it, lest once shaved, the beard will grow like a mushroom after the rain and have to be shaved every day.

Nose Hair Many people pay attention to the beard but miss the nose hair. Others or classmates are often embarrassed to remind him that he should pay more attention at ordinary times, especially before the interview, and do a "self-examination".

Bad breath Some people will inevitably have bad breath if they talk too much. If someone gives you feedback, you should pay more attention and take some control measures as soon as possible. For example, take chewing gum with you during the interview, take one tablet half an hour before the interview to keep your mouth fresh, but don't have chewing gum in your mouth before the interview, and don't enter the interview proudly. Also, be careful not to eat some smelly food such as garlic before the interview, otherwise it is disrespectful to have bad breath.

The weather in the north of the lips is dry, and people often have chapped lips like "Shangganling". I suggest buying some lip balm. The words spoken by clean and moist lips will also appear more natural and smooth.

Who can respect glasses if they are not clean?

What kind of glasses color and frame to choose involves personal taste and face shape, so I won't comment one by one here. As for the price, it also depends on everyone's specific situation. Glasses don't need to pay attention to famous brands, as long as they are decent and suitable for you and your business people.

However, wearing glasses also has a common problem, that is, forgetting to wipe it. If you can't keep it clean, no matter how expensive or high-end glasses are, you will lose a lot of points. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to wipe the glasses with clean glasses cloth before the interview.

Accessories are suitable for women, not for men.

As a student at school, the general economic situation is not very affluent. It is best not to wear necklaces and other accessories, even if there are certain economic conditions, otherwise it will be very unpretentious. Generally speaking, employees engaged in more conservative industries such as finance rarely wear accessories. Wearing accessories during an interview will not only ruin the hiring manager's first impression of you, but also fail to meet the requirements of the position you are interviewing for. In addition, compared with women, men should not wear brooches and badges, nor should they wear the school emblem of their own school. Don't always remind others that you are the famous "high flyers of XX University".

Color matching of suits

There are many exquisite suits, and the prices vary greatly from high to low. How to choose a suit really depends on everyone's own specific situation, and it is difficult to give a unified standard. However, some viewpoints still have universal reference significance.

The first thing to note is that the suit should be matched with the same color system, and the fabric should be dark, especially dark blue, or dark with pinstripes. Some people questioned, "Some professors in our school came back from abroad, but their suits are different in color from top to bottom." In fact, many overseas professors wear different colors. But please note that you are not a professor, and you are not applying for the position of professor. In addition, it is particularly noteworthy not to wait until the day before the interview to buy a suit, because the suit needs to be carefully selected to choose the right suit, and you can't rush to choose the right suit.

Here are two short stories about suits that can be used for reference. Some China tour groups go abroad to visit, and the members are all in suits and ties. However, on closer inspection, some people deliberately leave the label "XX suit" on their cuffs. Some people have a well-fitted suit and a decent shirt and tie, but wearing a brand-new brand-name sports shoes is very uncoordinated.

Shirt collar

If the most conservative suit color is dark and the most conservative shirt color is white, this collocation is a common choice for most business people. In addition, some people will choose a blue shirt, so they need to pay special attention to the color and style of the suit, otherwise it will be ugly. Of course, white shirts also have shortcomings. White shirts get dirty easily and it is difficult to keep them clean, especially when the weather is hot or the air quality is poor. The white shirt that has just been replaced is often dirty in one day. Therefore, buy more white shirts and change them frequently.

When choosing a shirt, you should pay attention to the fact that the collar should not be too big, and the neckline and cuffs should not be too wide, just enough to button up and have a slight gap. The texture is 30%-40% cotton and 60%-70% chemical fiber. Shirts made of pure chemical fiber will be too thin, too transparent and not solemn enough. Shirts made of pure cotton will not be stiff enough if they are not ironed in time, and they need to be ironed again every time they are washed.

A suit doesn't need a famous brand, and neither does a shirt. Many professional managers' suits and shirts in international companies are custom-made, with only the name of the tailor's shop and no well-known brands. These people pay attention to the production technology and fabric texture, and the students' clothes should be fit in size and solemn in style.

Bonds are learned.

How to match the color and pattern of tie with shirts and suits is a university question, and it is also related to personal taste. Students should pay more attention to the clothes of successful people and leaders of well-known companies, see how they choose ties, and at the same time, everyone can exchange experiences.

But one thing needs to be pointed out, don't use tie clips. Because the use of tie clips is only a habit of a few Asian countries, with a strong regional color, not an international practice. As for the length of the tie, it is better to just exceed the belt.

The length of trousers is very loose.

In addition to maintaining the same color as the upper body suit, pants should also be careful not to be too narrow, to maintain a certain degree of looseness, and not too short, so as to cover the upper of leather shoes. At the same time, don't wear suspenders. It is childish and arrogant for young people to wear suspenders. In addition, sweatpants and jeans, no matter what brand, are not formal clothes and are not suitable for interviews.

The choice of belt is simple.

The color of the belt is black, the head of the belt should not be too big or too bright, and there should not be too many patterns and patterns. Some people even have a pistol embedded in their belts, as if to say, "If you don't admit me, I'll shoot you." This dress is very unprofessional

There are too many white socks.

It is better to wear dark socks, but usually some people often wear white socks, which will not appear in international business dress. Dark socks should have no obvious patterns and patterns, and in addition, transparent stockings should not be worn.

Leather shoes are black but not dirty, bright but not new.

The color of leather shoes should be black, which belongs to the most stable and safe tone like white shirts and dark suits. Pay attention to cleaning shoes frequently and keep the vamp clean and bright. Although some students bought good leather shoes, they didn't pay attention to polishing them. During the interview, leather shoes look dusty and don't match the straight suit on them, which will make the hiring manager feel that the candidate is careless and informal.

In addition, it should be noted that you should never leave your new leather shoes until the day of the interview, because they don't fit you for the first time, and you will limp when you walk, which will make people mistakenly think that you have leg disease.

Who is this briefcase for?

It's perfect for boys to carry a computer bag without a computer, but be careful not to make the computer bag too big. If you don't use the computer, you don't have to carry it with you in your bag. Carrying a heavy computer, the whole person will appear dull and incompetent.

Many years ago, rectangular suitcase was fashionable, but now it is out of date and should not be used any more. Don't use that kind of formal briefcase, which is usually used by bosses and managers. The students interviewed will be too "precocious" and out of status.

Dress depends on different companies and make different choices. Although the suit looks formal, is it really necessary to wear it in many cases? Can clothes be associated with different types of companies? For example, it is very necessary to wear a suit and tie for interviews with companies in banking, insurance and consulting industries, but for some companies that make fashion products, as long as they are dressed neatly and appropriately.

We have also seen such a person. Although he is wearing an expensive suit, I can't tell from his manners that he is a very professional and cultured business person, but he has a strong smell of "Grandma Liu has just entered the Grand View Garden".

When we started working from a graduate recruited by a domestic university, no matter how much money and energy we spent on clothes, his suit was always inappropriate. Those employees who have worked for one or two years gradually show a mature and sophisticated style in their clothes. They don't spend too much money on clothes, but after working for a long time, they gradually become familiar with and agree with international norms, and their tastes gradually improve.

Generally speaking, conservative colors are more acceptable. Dark suit, white shirt, black belt and black shoes are the first choice for business dress. We pay more attention to the taste of clothes than the brand. Students who rarely have the opportunity to wear suits have no experience in wearing suits for several years, so it is difficult to understand their feelings.
