GROOMING FOR WOMEN AND MEN - What to wear.

Often large corporations will issue you with a uniform, but for your interview you should wear a suit and follow these guide lines below.

WOMEN

• A suit should be black, dark grey or navy with either a skirt or trousers. • Skirt length should be a little below the knee and never shorter than above the knee. • Blouses should be cotton or silk (white or light pastel colour) and plain with no ruffles. • Tights/stockings should be flawless (no runs) and skin coloured.  (You may want to keep an extra pair in your handbag). • Shoes should be closed toed and have small to medium heels.  No platforms, trainers, strappy sandals or pumps.  Make sure they are well polished and not worn. • Simple accessories. Stud earrings only. No visible body piercing (nose rings, eyebrow rings, etc) • Makeup should be professional.  No bright lipstick or eye shadow – click here for ‘professional make-over’.  • Hair and nails should be clean and well groomed with no bright colours.  Hair should be well cut or tied back, but always neat and tidy.  Take a comb or brush in your handbag. • Minimal perfume

MEN

• A two piece suit in black, dark grey or navy. • A tie in a simple pattern that matches the colour of your suit. • Button down dress shirt (white or pastel). • Polished dress shoes in a dark colour. • Socks should be dark and high fitting, no hairy legs to be seen between trousers and socks. • No earrings!  If you normally wear one, take it out • Hair should be cut short, above the collar. • Clean trimmed fingernails. • Minimal cologne.
