How to look successful before you've even gotten the job? Be polished, appropriate, pulled-together-and still be yourself. You're in the Creative Arts field. Art Director, Advertising, Architecture, Design.
*Overall polish is what a human resources director will notice first if you are going after a job in a creative field. That means well-tailored clothes with an edge.
*Unique accessories help interviewers remember you. Tasteful self-expression pays off even with conservative employers.
*Dress up, not down- More formality indicates seriousness and dedication.
*Choose a Luxury Laptop Bag that says Modern & chic.
Inappropriate choices demonstrate poor judgment. Stained clothing, flip-flops, brazen cleavage, short skirts, strong perfume-not the surest way to make a good impression.

How to dress for a job interview
Graduation time is just around the corner and hopefully you have some interviews already lined up. We love to help you pull your act together so that you'll walk into that job interview wearing the most important thing of all-CONFIDENCE. By paying attention to the following Interview Attire guidelines, you will have at least 1/2 of the interview covered.

Did you know that 55% of another person's perception of you is based on how you look. It is much better to be overdressed than underdressed when you are preparing for a job interview. Here's a quick look at the basics:
Women's Interview Attire
*Solid color, conservative suit (if you wear a skirt, check the magazines for the appropriate length and longer is better than shorter)
*Crisp Laundered or Ironed blouse (white is always appropriate)
*Polished shoes (keep the heels to under 3? unless you have an interview with Vogue)
*Limited jewelry (a watch is a must- it shows you are concerned with time)
*Neat, professional hairstyle
*Sparse make-up & perfume
*Manicured nails ( Best $12.00 you will ever spend)
*Letterpad and a good pen (take notes just like Hillary)
*Laptop Bag or Business Tote ( good quality is important)
Invest in a good pair of shoes and a good quality laptop bag or business tote because those are the first tow things that will get noticed. You want to be a success so you need to look the part.

Research the company, know what you are walking into, read about the key players. The more you know the more confident you will be. Now go out and nail that job!
