Dress for the Job You Want

A lot of times we look at our closets and think "What should I wear for work today?" or "Is this appropriate for this interview?" Well what we fail to realize is that what may be accepted in our eyes, is not accepted in the eyes of a professional. Here I will tell what to wear for your job or for future jobs to come.

Men's fashion:

Solid color button down shirts(black, blue brown and gray)
Solid color ties (no Bow ties)
Black, gray or blue pants are accpeted
Black or brown dress shoes
*all clothes must be ironed

Women:

Blouses and button downs shirts
Dresses and skirts minimal knee length
Black, gray or blue pants are accepted
Solid color flats or heels are accepted as well
*all clothes must be ironed

Absolutely no  jeans, sneakers or shorts are allowed to be worn, hair and nails must be work appropriate, and offensive tattoos can not be shown on display.



Both of these are prime examples of what to wear the next time you look at your closet and get a brain freeze on what to wear.

Resume and Cover letter

Tips on Writing a Successful Resume           A resume is a summary of your experiences and skills relevant to the field of work you are entering.

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear.  If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
