Welcome!
Introduction and Overview
Today’s presentation will cover: How to prepare and dress
appropriately for a job interview Current men’s professional attire Overview of ladies’ professional attire What our stores can do for you Q & A
Preparing for an Interview Do some advance research.
Check the company’s website or visit their location to learn about their culture and their dress code.
If you can, speak to someone within the company to see how the organization functions.
Learn about the company profile and history How long have they been in business? What is their corporate mission statement? Culture and Values?
Prepare a list of questions about the company, the position you are applying for and the work group you will be involved with upon hiring.
Can you tell me about opportunities for growth and development? How would you describe the leadership style within the company? How much teamwork vs. individual work should I expect?
First ImpressionsYou never get a second chance to make a first impression
Appropriate attire shows you are serious about the interview process and understand the nature of your selected industry. Dress relative to the company’s business profile.
In some industries your attire will be judged more critically, especially where customer contact and image presented to the customer matters.
You want your attire to be noticed as being appropriate and well-fitting, but you want the interviewer’s main attention focused on you.
It is better to be overdressed for an interview.
For interview suits, select classics that endure Changes in fashion may change the width of
lapels, the cut of pants, or the colors of blouses available in stores.
Basic professional attire does not change with the whims of fashion. For men, a good suit can last five years or longer, depending on its quality, how often you wear it, how well you care for it, and if it continues to fit you.
To extend the life of your suits, Moores will: Re-alter any previously altered seam free of
charge. Help you select a functional wardrobe with
timeless fashionability.
