If you’re interviewing for a job in fashion or media, you can play it up a little with your outfit.
Attention To The Details
Attention to the details calls for neckline, hemline, shoes and jewellery. Your neckline has to be professional, either scoop or high V neck. Be responsible and dress sensibly. Your hemline has to be below the knee. You’re supposed to sit during the interview, so make nothing weird is going to happen. Pick the shoes that are comfortable. Walk steadily and gracefully.
Put The Scent Away
Do not bathe yourself in cologne or perfume. You might not know what the interviewer is allergic to, a strong perfume might make him feel sick. So wearing perfume, thinking of mesmerising the interviewer is a bad idea. You want the interviewer to remember you, not the scent you wear.
Have A Dress Rehearsal

This will give you some time to fix the troubles like, what if the shirt’s button is missing? What if the shirt is not ironed? What if the dress doesn’t fit you well?

Keep your makeup minimal, you do not want the interviewing to gaze at how perfectly winged your eyeliner is or how red your lipstick. Keep it natural and sober. Don’t worry if you’re running late, this six minutes makeup guide is going to help you a lot.
