Pls I would like to know the most appropriate way for a lady to dress to an interview. which is better: a touser suit or a skirt suit? need help urgently.
honestly i advise you go in a neatly ironed skirt suit.there is no rule to thia,but you never can tell you may ve people that re against ladies in trousers in the panel,and as human beings you inside ll definitely control your outside.but with skirt you re sure nobody is feeling any how. wishing you luck.
yeah knowing how f*cked up Nigerians are religiously it's best to go with a skirt suit so that you'll be good at both extremes. I've always said that interviews are about kissing a-s-s. (telling them what they want to hear/giving them what they want to see). when you get the job you can then ease in into your normal self.
Yes, going for interview on skirt suits will be best for both sides
i my own opinion, the best way to dress is to wear a baggy jean trousers with a bra top, a pencil heel shoe that makes lots of noise on the floor and a heavy sun shade to blend it.
this is a perfect dress code for a lady going for an interview
good luck. ;D
na wa 4 u oo my guy,which one be baggy.
pls go 4 good skirt suit to aviod any over sigh
My own opinion is that ladies that are going for interview should know what they want, not until they show their nakedness to the place of interview that the job will be given to them, instead they use them to get want they want and throw them away in a wastebill, and go for ladies who are ready for their jobs, so my advise is that they should atleast wear something reputable/Godicious to the public, not until they wear trousers, but smart wears like shirt&skirt and suit wears not trousers. Wish u best of luck.
Hi,
I believe ladies should dress moderately, not too flashy and shabby. you know what fit you, that makes you look good,then go for it.
All you need is Gods' favor and it shall be with you. all the best. ;)
there is a popular saying that say's u are addressed the way you dress.anyhow u want the interviewer to adress you, you dress that way. 8)
i think skirt suit is still d most apprte 2 wear.
yes its safer to wear a skirt
If it's nt a skirt suite, it cnt be a skirt suite.The most appropriate way to dress to an interview as a lady is to see yourself in a well ironed skirt suite.Good luck.
what about skirt & blouse...is it old fashioned?
It all depends on the type of job you are about to be employed with. Most organisations / companies wants their staff to look corporate in their dressing so for me personally skirt suit is the best while skirt and blouse may be accepted by others. As i earlier said, it all depends on the job you are applying for. Trousers are not all that okay because it may put you at a disadvantage position is the any or all of the panel of interviewer has any dislike for Ladies wearing trousers.
my dear whatever u feel comfortable in.
@ coobed u sd : what about skirt & blouse...is it old fashioned? is is still vry fashionable infact d most fashionable. i advise u to wear such whenever d invite u for interviwe. lol
My dear wear what makes u feel good,confortable and smart.Good luck!!!
the whole idea of females in trouses is actually an anomaly. But it goes these days anyway. But that does not make it accepted by everyone. If you re a thinking person you ll know that the man/woman who does not buy the idea sees a man in skirt as your aligory. Like that? I think you should wear a skirt. Except its for a cleaner or engeneering job. cheers man.
please dear, wear what makes you feel good and represent you in a better way,and i believe your dressing will definately speak for you. Be smart and always be yourself. babe gud luck o!
my dear, wear what suite u and follow your heart with prayer.
It all depends on the skirt we are talking about as well as the pants or trousers. There are some trouser suits that spells out decency and commands respect while on the other hand, some skirt suits are just so seductive. Wat if the skirt we are talking about here is short or tight? Friend, just wear what presents you as qualified for the job period.
just look good.not too flashy though.ur outside kinda reflects ur inside and how u look boosts ur confidence so look good girl,u know what's right.
Well i think D best thing to wear Suit And Trouser With Tie,It makes u loook English.
A gud skirt suit should be best for ladies 2 wear for interviews.
ITS ALL GOOD....
If you are going for an interview it is better to go on skirt suit and dress properlly not exposing any part of your body.Mind you it is better to wear a skirt longer than your knee not above your knee.ALL THE BEST
nice comments .babe, be on your skirt. wish u d best pals
The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first judgment an interviewer makes is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing. That's why it's always important to dress professionally for a job interview, even if the work environment is casual.
You'll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but, a great one. The candidate dressed in a suit and tie is going to make a much better impression than the candidate dressed in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt.
How to Dress for an Interview:
Women's Interview Attire
• Suit (navy, black or dark grey)
• The suit skirt should be long enough so you can sit down comfortably
• Coordinated blouse
• Conservative shoes
• Limited jewelry (no dangling earrings or arms full of bracelets)
• No jewelry is better than cheap jewelry
• Professional hairstyle
• Neutral pantyhose
• Light make-up and perfume
• Neatly manicured clean nails
• Portfolio or briefcase
What Not to Bring to the Interview
• Gum
• Cell phone
• Ipod
• Coffee or soda
• If you have lots of piercings, leave some of your rings at home (earrings only, is a good rule)
• Cover tattoos
Interview Attire Tips
• Before you even think about going on an interview, make sure you have appropriate interview attire and everything fits correctly.
• Get your clothes ready the night before, so you don't have to spend time getting them ready on the day of the interview.
• If your clothes are dry clean only, take them to the cleaners after an interview, so they are ready for next time.
• Polish your shoes.
• Bring a breath mint and use it before you enter the building.
What your clothes say about you
• In an interview your attire plays a supporting role.
• Your conduct, your interpersonal skills and your ability to articulate intelligent and well thought out responses to questions are the most important elements.
• Appropriate attire supports your image as a person who takes the interview process seriously and understands the nature of the industry in which you are trying to become employed.
• Be aware that in some industries, customer contact and image presented to the customer is critical. In such industries, your attire will be judged more critically.
• Your attire should be noticed as being appropriate and well-fitting, but it should not take center stage.
• If you are primarily remembered for your interview attire, this is probably because you made an error in judgment!
• Dressing nicely and appropriately is a compliment to the person you meet, so if in doubt, err on the side of dressing better than you might need to.
• Even if you are aware that employees of an organization dress casually on the job, dress up for the interview unless you are specifically told otherwise by the employer
. • Never confuse an interview or business function with a social event. Don't dress for a party or a date.
• Not every contact with an employer requires interview attire. For some occasions business casual is appropriate. See business casual for when to wear it and what it is.
Interview attire guidelines for men and women
• Suit:
A two piece matched suit is always the best and safest choice.
• But what if the job is in a non-suit-wearing work environment:
Even if you would or could wear jeans on the job, or the work environment is outdoors and very non-suit, wearing a suit to the interview shows you take the interview seriously as a professional meeting. Dressing well is a compliment to the person(s) with whom you meet. If you think the industry in which you're interviewing would frown on a suit, or the interview will involve going to a work site where a suit would be inappropriate, look for advice through professional organizations, your professors who have been employed in that industry, and/or by asking the employer directly and politely.
• Conservative colors / fabric:
Navy, dark gray (and black for women) — are safe.
Other color trends may come and go; avoid the extremes.
Solids or very subtle weave patterns or plaids (the kind that look solid across a room) are safest. Wool, wool blends, or good quality micro fiber for women only, are generally the best fabrics in all seasons. Avoid acetate / rayon blends.
• Cost / quality:
You are not expected to be able to afford the same clothing as a corporate CEO. Do invest in quality that will look appropriate during your first two or three years on the job. One good quality suit is sufficient for a job search if that is all your budget allows. You can vary your shirt/blouse tie/accessories.
• Details:
Everything should be clean and well pressed.
Carefully inspect clothes for tags, dangling threads, etc.
Additional interview attire specifics for women • Don't confuse club attire with business attire. If you would wear it to a club, you probably shouldn't wear it in a business environment.
• Suit:
Wear a two-piece matched suit.
• Suit - pants / skirts:
Tailored pants suits are appropriate for women. Pants suits can be an excellent choice for site visits, particularly if the visit involves getting in and out of vehicles and/or the site is (or includes) a manufacturing plant or industrial facility. If you wear pants, they should be creased and tailored, not tight or flowing. If you are pursuing a conservative industry and are in doubt, observe well dressed women in your industry on the job, at career fairs, at information sessions, etc.
• Skirt lengths:
Much of what you see on television shows that masquerades for professional attire is actually inappropriate for a work environment. Your skirt should cover your thighs when you are seated. Showing a lot of thigh makes you look naive at best, foolish at worst. A skirt that ends at the knee when you're standing looks chic and professional. Longer skirts are professional too; just make sure they are narrow enough not to be billowing, but not so narrow that you can't climb stairs comfortably.
Don't purchase a skirt or decide on a hem length until you sit in the skirt facing a mirror. That's what your interviewer will see. Ask yourself whether it will be distracting or reinforce your image as a person who looks appropriate for a business environment or gathering. High slits in skirts are not appropriate. A small back, center slit in a knee-length skirt is appropriate. On a calf length skirt, a slit to the knee to facilitate walking and stair climbing is appropriate.
• Color / fabric:
Navy, dark gray, brown and black are safe. Other color trends may come and go; avoid the extremes. Women generally have more options with suit color than men. For example, while a women could look conservative in a slate blue or light gray suit, these colors would be inappropriate for men. Choose a solid or very subtle weave pattern or plaid (the kind that look solid across a room). Wool, wool blends, and high quality blends and synthetics are apprpriate for women's suiting.
• Shirt / sweaters:
Underneath the suit jacket, wear a tailored blouse in a color or small print that coordinates nicely with your suit. A fine gauge, good quality knit shell is also appropriate underneath your suit jacket. Don't show cleavage
. • Jewelry / accessories:
Wear a conservative watch. Jewelry and scarf styles come and go. Keep your choices simple and leaning toward conservative. Avoid extremes of style and color. If your industry is creative, you may have more flexibility than someone pursuing a conservative industry.
• Cosmetics:
Keep makeup conservative. A little is usually better than none for a polished look. Nails should be clean and well groomed. Avoid extremes of nail length and polish color, especially in conservative industries.
• Shoes:
Should be leather or fabric / micro fiber. Shoe styles and heel heights come and go. Choose closed-toe pumps. Regardless of what is in style, avoid extremes; no stilettos or chunky platforms. Make certain you can walk comfortably in your shoes; hobbling in uncomfortable shoes does not convey a professional appearance.
• Hosiery:
Should be plainly styled (no patterns), sheer (not opaque), and in neutral colors complementing your suit. Avoid high contrast between your suit and hosiery color.
• Purse / bag:
If you carry a purse, keep it small and simple, especially if you also carry a briefcase. Purse color should coordinate with your shoes. You may choose to carry a small briefcase or business-like tote bag in place of a purse. Leather is the best choice for briefcases; micro fiber or fine woven are also acceptable.
Skirt suits, trouser suits... by God's guidance is the best cos I wont tell u to go buy one if you dont have at d time.
Please, Traez, this is a portal for great minds. I dont subscribe to the use of such words that are taboo like the one you used- f*cked. thanks
