New Year, New Job?
Are you thinking of beginning a job search or maybe you are in the middle of one already? Jewelry can play a role in creating a fantastic impression during your job interviews. Check out the tips below to take your appearance to the next level!
- Company Dress Code: Do your best to understand the dress code of the company with whom you are interviewing. More formal, business attire dress code calls for more formal attire while you may have more flexibility with a company that is business casual attire.
- Necklaces: Simple is the key. Classic and simple necklaces will make any attire shine. Necklaces that are too busy or flashy may distract from the overall look you are working to share.
- Earrings: Avoid large earrings that may be distracting – you don’t want your focal point to be your ears! Dangling earrings are another type to avoid as they may make noise or distract with movement. Smaller hoops or studs are always great choices, providing sophistication without distraction.
- Bracelets: While we know the trend now is to stack bracelets, we don’t recommend this look for an interview. They can be distracting or noisy. Keep it simple with one or two bracelets that compliment your attire.
- Personalization: You can and should personalize your jewelry. Wear your favorite piece or choose one with a subtle bit of color. You want to showcase your uniqueness while still being mindful of not distracting your interviewer from the overall professional look you are presenting.
Remember less is more with jewelry for interviews. Your focus is on presenting the overall package and focusing on what you bring to the table in terms of qualifications and character. Need a few new pieces to enhance your interview jewelry options? Stop in to Bridgewaters!
