In interviews, a professional look is key
FASHION from page 1
By Derek Lippincott
Staff writer
When it comes to interviewing
for a job, the same rules apply any
where you go.
No jeans. No tennis shoes. No 5
o’clock shadow. Clip your finger
nails.
Wipe the crust out of your eyes.
Overall, do anything to yourself
that would offer a better first impres
sion.
Christine Cox, ladies department
manager and agenda consultant of
Stein Mart, 200 N. 66th St., said that a
good first impression is the most
important part of interviewing for a
job. * * i
“Most interviewers make up then
minds in the first 10 seconds whether
you’re a viable candidate or not,” Cox
said. “First impressions are by far the

Schools, agreed.
“When I interview someone, I’ve

impressive during ttye interview, I
have to wonder how they will look on
the job.”

to dressing for interviews.
“You should always dress one
level above the job’s dress code,” Cox
said. “You can’t really look too pro
fessional.”
Aside from clothing, grooming is
also important. Cox said she discour
ages anything contradicting the tradi
tional styles.
“You should be well-groomed
and more on the traditional side,” Cox

You want the
employer to notice
you and not your
hair or your
makeup

Stein Mart agenda consultant
said. “You want the employer to
notice you and not your hair or your
makeup.”
Wibbels said long hair is OK as
long as it is groomed and maintained.
“Extremes can attract attention,”
Wibbels said. “But I’ve seen some
women with really short hair that
that look very professional.”
Aside from dressing up and
grooming, perhaps another step to
take when preparing for an interview
