Professional Tips for Your Job Search
Dress for Success
You are what you wear - especially when it comes to an interview!
First impressions are made in as little as 30 seconds and you want
to project the image of an employee your prospective company will
want to hire. There's no impression like the first impression -
so make it count!
When you look good, you're more confident. Those who carry themselves
with confidence and convey a likeable personality are more likely to
appear as an attractive candidate, regardless of their physical qualities.
How can you look your best and project that winning quality? Start with a
smile followed by a positive attitude! These are your most effective yet
most inexpensive components of a successful interview.
Interview Attire
Remember, you not only represent yourself during your interview and at
work, you represent Aureus Group. Your clothing should reflect professionalism
and confidence.
- Dresses and suits are always considered appropriate professional
attire as well as a dress and jacket combination. Keep it simple,
tailored and select conservative colors.
- Avoid loud or flashy styles or colors.
- Women: avoid heavy makeup.
What is Business Casual?
Many of our clients have a more casual dress code. Your Account
Manager will coach you on what attire is appropriate for the
company.
Remember - even if the internal dress code is very casual,
your interview attire should be professional and relatively
conservative.
Business Casual Attire
- Business casual is an extension of professional, yet in a more
relaxed manner.
- Dressing a notch above the norm on "Business Casual Day" is
still appropriate.
- Classics such as khaki pants, chambray shirts, and vests are
appropriate. Your company may even offer company shirts.
- Shoes should always be polished.
- Try changing from the conservative white shirt to a more
colorful, open-collared shirt. It will make a great difference in
your appearance while still retaining professionalism.
- Avoid large logos, t-shirts with messages, and items that are
revealing.
- Unbutton no more than the top button on shirts and blouses.
