FACT: First impression matters. We need to realize in this day and age, office
attire is more approachable and casual than ever so greater wisdom holds
that dressing professionally still
pays off in the long run. Dressing well builds confidence, your bosses at work
will take you more seriously, you will possess a more intimidating presence and
might even help with doing your job better.
An applicant has achived
50% success the moment you get invited for an interview. What you then
wear to the interview will at the first instance create an impression and will
definitely affect how you are perceived by the employer. A good rule of thumb is to dress like your boss. Shoes
should be well-polished and in good condition, not scuffed or run-down at the
heels.
Here are useful tips to serve as a guide;
1. Skirt Suit: Your
skirt should not be too wide.

blouse or any soft colored blouse will do.
3. Shoes: Always wear closed-toe shoes.
