New Tips And Triks For You

You've secured the meeting; you've done your research; you've picked your outfit and now the day has come to nail the job interview. Feeling confident in yourself is key to convincing others to be confident in your abilities so walking into that interview knowing you look good is half the battle. Here are some top tips for making sure you look the part...

1. Don't Change Who You Are

If you usually favour the natural look, the day of interview is not the time to cake yourself in make-up and try out a vibrant home hair-kit. It's important to feel comfortable so only use make-up or hair styling tools to enhance not change your natural features.

2. Wake Up to Make-Up

According to the Daily Mail, 25 percent of employers say they're more likely to hire a woman who wears makeup to an interview than one who doesn't. Whilst I'm not suggesting you go down the false-eyelash/rouged-lip route, applying a subtle amount of make-up for an interview shows you take care of yourself whilst also hiding any dark circles, making you appear more alert.

3. Lose Your Scents

Experts recommend skipping wearing your perfume on the day of interview and instead just showering with your usual wash. Some people are very sensitive to strong smells and an overbearing or unsavoury perfume can subconsciously create negative associations for your potential employer.

Keep your hair neat and freshly washed. You may not think of it but inches of roots that need a touch-up can send the wrong message to your employer. Keep your hair off your face to avoid touching or twirling of it when you feel nervous.

5. Nail That Interview

Do not make the mistake of overlooking your nails before an interview. Get them cleaned up professionally or buy a manicure homekit, keeping the shade natural and the nails short which will give the final polish to your interview-ready look.
