When dressing up for an interview it is vital to ensure that your attire is pressed and wrinkle free. This automatically gives you a plus point in the books of the employer, as you walk in for the interview.

·         Ensure that your shirt is buttoned up leaving enough space for you to breathe but not enough to extenuate your cleavage.

·         Avoid tight skirts or skirts above your knees, which give a negative vibe to the employer

·         Interview attire doesn`t need to be boring and conservative, try experimenting with a splash of color with a professional business dress, but avoid anything too bright or splashy that can take away from your interview.

·         Avoid excessive accessories such as dangling earrings and large sunglasses

Regardless of what you wear, ensure that you look polished and neat to make an excellent first impression on your potential employer.
