The hearts of interviewers no matter how stony they might be are easily swayed by a good impression. Oddly enough, such good impressions are not necessarily fashioned by impressive professional portfolios.
A strong first impression is largely determined by the cloth you wear and the overall image projected by your very self-personality. To cut a long lecture short, the “strong first impression” depends on a string of events.
Firstly, walk in the interviewing arena with an aura of confidence like a majestic beast moving in for the kill. To do this effectively, you must be in a thoroughly relaxed mood; and to attain such a mood you must entirely be yourself; which is to say you must dress as natural as if the dressing code guiding wardrobe selection process is embedded somewhere deeper in your genes.
Are you now uber-confident in your look? Of course yes! Here we go, baby.
The second thing you have to think beforehand is who do you mean to impress with your dress? Indubitably not your sweetheart, but the interviewing panel is. If that is the case, it'd suicidal to bolster self-confidence at the expense of offending the very people you want them to offer you that mouthwatering post.
The long and short of it is that while you need to exploit max confidence from the fashion of your taste; consider also what is ethical, or at least acceptable in that particular job environment.
Monica James, beauty expert and author of The Right Choice of Perfume(exclusively available in this site), wittily advises us to wear perfumes of our best choices but always think of nostrils of those we come in contact with. This piece of advice is nugget gold here as is directly relevant.
So always just dress what makes you feel comfortable but never offend the tradition of the job you are applying for or recruitment agency employed to employ you.
If appears that the chasm between what feels you good and interviewer's definition of “appropriate dress” is so wide, still there is no point of plummeting into the bottom.
Just find a good balance between the two sides by making a reasonable compromise.
For instance, if the exec job atmosphere demands that black suit you certainly not fond of wearing, a non-flashy long-sleeved shirt will make you look casual and comfortable without hurting either of the sides.
Besides, you don’t need to be so desperate as to meekly forgo all of your dressing tastes for the sake of getting hired because employers too are impressed by something of a novelty, even though never will they tell you this.
So sensibly go and wisely express your individuality through what you wear and say and will stand apart of the crowd. Doing this, however, may somewhat be tricky as the interview is not as the same as a beauty contest.
Good luck buddy in your next interview!
