Shopping for Your Dream Job

Let us say that we have helped you craft your curriculum vitae (CV) and that you have sent it to the company where you have always wanted to work ever since you learned the term “dream job”. After a short wait, a call comes in from that company, earlier than you expected they would respond. You are scheduled for an interview. You are excited but nervous. Now, what do you do before your big day comes? You shop. First impressions may not be accurate, but they highly matter – especially in the corporate world. That is why you must wear the right clothes when you walk into the office of your dreams for your job interview.

In deciding what to wear for a job interview, remember that it always better to be a little overdressed than under-dressed. Do some research about the area's culture, especially if you are new to the locale. It will be good if you have an idea about the company's work culture and what the employees wear to work. This especially figures in the debate over whether women should wear a pant suit or the more traditional skirt suit. Experts recommend wearing a skirt suit for the first interview round or two, especially if you see that the company's female employees wear skirt suits. However, if wearing a skirt suit gives you a sense of discomfort during the interview, than go for the pant suit. Men would do well with a suit and tie. Do not forget to bring your CV, even if you have already sent the company a copy of it.
