Interview attire advice – what should I wear to my interview

by admin on 9:36 am

I have a job interview at a well established Psychiatric group. I am an
RN with 30 yrs. experience. What is your best advice re interview and
attire?

Hi Paulette,

For starters, make a great first impression. For everyone you meet on
the day of your interview, before and after the interview – make sure
you
always give a good firm handshake, even to women, and look them in the
eye and give them a BIG smile and show your teeth. Just a little bit of
teeth in a smile goes a long way and helps create a lasting and positive
impression of you in their mind. Speak clearly and make good eye
contact.

As far as your attire – dress professionally, but don’t over dress. I
like to wear something similar to what people who are working there are
already wearing – it makes them feel more comfortable around you and
gives them a chance to see how you visually fit-in in their workplace.
In the past, I have been accused of overdressing and did not get the job
- possibly because they thought I was too well-polished.

I hope this helps and please let me know if there is anything else I can
help you with.

Good luck on your interview.

Best regards,

Don
