What to Wear to a Job Interview?
With every first interview, first Impressions really count. It is really important to wear the right outfit to a job interview, it is more important than many people

Professional and Polished
For the ladies:
Makeup should be kept to a minimal. Make sure your makeup isn’t too bright or distracting as it may look harsh in an office setting. Keep it clean and simple. Keep it professional and polished and as the saying goes “less is defiantly more”! Make sure your nails are polished and clean and present no chips.
For the Men:
Ensure to be clean shaven and well groomed. A fresh haircut shows that you put a lot of effort in yourself and it will also give you that added confidence in the interview. If you have facial hair like a beard, it should be kept neat and tidy. An overgrown beard will not make for a good first impression.
