5 Reasons Why You Didn't Get the Job,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The job interview process can be summed up nicely by reviewing the words of the wise zen master that is Carrie Bradshaw, "A first date is just a job interview with cocktails." However, there is one big difference,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are no beer goggles that can erase the image of a horrible first impression. So here are 5 reasons why your wardrobe may have cost you the job and how you can avoid being a Plain Jane on the next job interview.
1. "Put on your dancing shoes". You didn't get the job because you wore flip-flops, sneakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too-tall stripper heels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], scuffed up shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or you went barefoot. Yes your shoes do tell a story about you and that story should be that I am confident and want this job. Therefore ladies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you should always lean more conservative (this does not mean Plain Jane) for a job interview. This means that you must wear heels (non-negotiable unless you have a doctor's note). The heels do not need to be really high. They can be a kitten heel with a one inch height,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they should not be over 3-4 inches. Additionally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your shoes should look like they are in good condition so you may need to take a shine to them. Some of you may be thinking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Can I wear sneakers with my suit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ellen Degeneres does it?" Well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], until you have the #1 daytime talk show,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Cover Girl cosmetics deal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and are married to Portia De Rossi,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you better steer clear of the sneakers during an interview. A plain jane wears flats that resemble house shoes. A well qualified job candidate wears heels - no matter how little they are.
2. "I can't hear you. Your clothes are too loud". You didn't get the job because your clothes were too loud. Remember for a job interview,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you want to be more conservative. That means you probably need to wear blacks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], grays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], navys,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], browns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or maybe ivory depending on time of year. You can have a bright-colored top,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but you want to keep the overall outfit a little subdued with just a little pop of color. A plain jane would wear a black suit with a plain white top. I'll stand out from all the other candidates." You are absolutely right Big Bird, you will stand out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but not for a good reason. If you want to add color to the outfit do it with your accessories.
3. "Is that a solar flare or the glare from your earrings." You didn't get the job because your earrings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bracelets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or man-hole cover sized brooch blinded the interviewer. The motto to follow is less is more,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you should use accessories to dress up your outfit and bring out a little more of your personality because you don't want to be a plain jane. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your accessories should not overwhelm the outfit. You want them to remember you and your skill set,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not the tambourine hanging from your earlobe. The interviewer may be so distracted by your earring that they will not hear your story of how you increased office productivity by 25%. A plain jane wears no earrings to a job interview. A job candidate with a job offer has simple but carefully coordinated accessories.
4. "The pen you can find is mightier than the sword" You didn't get the job because when you went to get the pen out of your purse and it took you 10 minutes plus a water break due to exhaustion. A messy purse says a lot about you. It can say "I am so busy coming up with ideas that I can't bother with such trivial matters as cleaning out my purse." But most likely it is saying "If you think this is messy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you should see what my desk will look like after a working here a month!" As with your shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you should choose your best handbag and make sure that it is cleaned out so you can easily find a pen or a notepad. Avoid using a handbag that shows a lot of wear and tear. A plain jane uses a reusable grocery bag as her handbag. A must-have job candidate uses her best handbag for the job interview.
5. "You're late,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you're late for a very important date" You didn't get the job because you were late, even a minute late looks bad in the world of job interviews. To avoid this catastrophe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wear a watch. In the age of cell phones,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this idea may seem old-fashioned. What's next going to the job interview in a horse and buggy. However the watch is beneficial in two regards: 1) It will keep you on time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2) It creates the perception that you are on time and responsible. Even you don't normally wear a watch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this is the one occasion that you should. No need to go visit the Cartier website,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can just go to Target or Walmart to get a decent watch just for interviews and it will pay dividends. A plain jane has a bare wrist. A second round interview candidate wears a watch to the job interview.
