——————Dress for success—————
Your days of wild abandon, wacky hairstyles, sloppy dressing, jhola and
kolapuri chappals are over. At least if you're on the interview list of
corporates. While the college campus may be the perfect forum in which to
exhibit your flair for the latest in fashion style, the interview is not the
place to do so. It must be said that the stiff suited booted companies have
relaxed their internal dress code a wee bit. But interviewers, we're afraid
are still the conservative old-fashioned type. Oxfords, business suits and a
necktie is still called for. Sarees or a salwar kameez's for the ladies
remain a fact of life in interviewing. You should be doing the talking not
your clothes! Dress smartly for your interview. It makes a positive
impression. It's half the battle won.
One final note on interview dress:
while it goes without saying that your interview clothes should be neat and
can, very few interviewees give the same time and attention to their shoes.
Shoes? Yes, shoes. I am aware of at least one Corporate Recruiter who forms
first impressions based solely (pardon the pun) on shoes. This person does
not have a shoe fetish--he subjectively judges that those who pay attention
to details like their shoes are also likely to be diligent in their work
life. And it is not just that person's opinion. You will find that many
ex-military officers (many of whom have found their way into management positions in corporate India) are
especially aware of a person's shoes. It is not enough to be clean, pressed, and ironed. Make sure your shoes are
conservative, clean, and polished.
Here are some pointers for the working man....
Clothes should be clean, pressed and well-fitting
White shirt is ideal for formal wear.White socks is Not!
Make sure the trouser length touches your shoes.
Your belt and shoes should match.Black belt with black shoes....!
Here are some pointers for the working woman...
Modesty never goes out of fashion. How you dress can make or break your career... for dressing speaks louder than words.
Researchers comment that what people think about us is decided within the first 3 minutes of a meeting. This makes dressing
an important business tool.
Dress smartly and neatly otherwise sloppiness will show in your work as well.
Business suits are becoming popular among the Indian women. Choose colours like navy blue, beige, grey, cream or
brown.Trousers/skirts with shirts/tops look good on the woman on the move! Avoid bindis while wearing western
clothes.....makes you look tacky! Salwar kameez is ideal - one that 80% of the Indian women populace prefers! Bright colours are out!
Cotton sarees, well starched and neatly pinned gives an elegant and business-like look to a woman. Highly
recommended! And silk sarees for official get-togethers.
