What you wear to a job interview is VERY important.  It can make or break you.  But what do you wear and how do you know what to wear?  If you haven’t done so already, check out my past posts about interview advice or resumes .  Also check out Anna’s two posts on resumes and phone interviews.

There are many different dress codes for businesses.  It might be casual, business casual, business professional, trendy, and so on.  It depends on the company and the career you chose.  A person who is interviewing for a finance corporate job most likely won’t wear the same thing as a fashion assistant would (I would hope not at least).  Here’s a great article on different dress codes.

Since I was dressing for a finance job, I dressed more business professional. All of these items can be found at The Limited.

Your shoes should also be plain and match (preferably black).  Your makeup should be basic, nothing too crazy.  Again, like I said, this is for the finance world. I’m a big fan on J.Crew, Limited, Express, LOFT, and the like.  Of course these places are all SUPER expensive, especially J.Crew.  I try to only shop when I have a coupon or when items go on sale.

Here’s a great post for those in the fashion/creative world.  And here are some sites with interview blunders, here and here.

What would you wear to an interview in your field? Where do you shop?

    I wish everyone could dress like a fashion editor for interviews!! I feel like the standard dress code is SO stuffy. However, I agree with what you said about professional dress – I just wish it weren't that way 🙁

    I agree, I wish it weren't like this either. The clothes are so boring and uncomfortable.

    Thankfully I do not have to wear blazers to work though! Just a nice shirt and slacks or a skirt.
