Have you ever heard of the expression 'looking the part'? In a job interview situation, that's exactly what you must do! First impressions count, and it is important that you are remembered for the right reasons. Our 'grooming guru' consultants at Drake have come up with helpful hints to help you look your best.

Women

Suits should be well-tailored and stylish, avoid overly vivid colours.

shift dress with matching jacket is also a good choice versus the traditional suit- knee length is desirable.

Take care with the accessories; do not ruin a smart suit with poor quality accessories.

The colour of your shoes should match your clothes -shoes should be pristine and polished.

Stockings should be a neutral color. (Remember to always keep a spare pair with you to cover emergencies).

Jewellery should be subtle. Wear a minimum of well-chosen jewelry that reflects good taste.

Ensure that your bag is good quality, clean and polished.

Make-up should be subtle and natural. In this case less is more.

Men

Suits should be worn in conservative colours.

Long sleeved shirts should always be worn, ironed and crease free.

Your tie should complement your shirt and your suit.

All earrings should be removed.

Clean shaven is mandatory

Shoes should be leather and should be pristine and polished.

Good presentation can be the winning edge at job interviews. It shows that you are confident and that you understand the environment you hope to work in. If you need any help in how to dress to impress, do not hesitate to contact a Drake consultant today!
