Wearing a Hijab to an Interview

Here are some tips when wearing a hijab to an interview.

-Wear a hijab that goes with your outfit to give a complete look.
-Try to do a nice neat wrap
- Choose neutral colors such as black, grey or navy blue. If you choose to wear color, keep the brighter colors in the outfit not the hijab.
- Do not "bling" out your hijab with long hijab pins and hair bands. Keep it as simple as possible.
-Trousers are good. Pair it with a blouse and a neat hijab style.
- Be confident.

Interview Perfume

For perfume, there’s one rule: don’t wear any. You never know if your favorite scent – even if you are convinced it’s the lightest, most perfect fragrance on earth – will cause an allergic reaction in your future employer. The only way to smell for a job interview is clean, which really means no noticeable smell at all. Now, that said, there is one exception to this rule – if you are interviewing for a company that produces perfume! In that case, feel free to wear a product created by that company, but do put it on in small doses. A little goes a long way!

So for the purposes of this post, let’s focus on menswear with the caveat that I would love to hear any insight women can give for women’s apparel and professionalism in the comments section. Fair enough? The Suit Image The motivation behind this post began when I came across this video on BusinessInsider.com . The items he recommends are considered the essentials of a professional wardrobe. But I would add that these wardrobe pieces are for working professionals clothing tha...

General Guidelines

Interview attire guidelines for men and women • Suit: A two piece matched suit is always the best and safest choice. • What if the JOB is in a NON-SUIT-wearing WORK ENVIRONMENT: Even if you would or could wear jeans on the job, or the work environment is outdoors and very non-suit, wearing a suit to the interview shows you take the interview seriously as a professional meeting. Dressing well is a compliment to the person(s) with whom you meet. If you think the industry in which you're interviewing would frown on a suit, or the interview will involve going to a work site where a suit would be inappropriate, look for advice through professional organizations, your professors who have been employed in that industry, and/or by asking the employer directly and politely. One alternative is to wear pressed pants (like khakis) and a dark jacket; less formal than a suit, but still business-appropriate for both men and women. • Conservative colors / fabric: Navy...
