While grooming, make sure to look clean and neat. Do your hair appropriately for the prospective job. Women should desist from wild hairdos with multiple colours and men should trim the hair and beard. Do not wear strong perfumes or colognes as this can be overpowering to the panel members.
You will most likely be nervous at the interviews and a scent can mask the perspiring you may be doing. As unscented antiperspirant can be cover any tattoos you may have on your body and avoid large and gaudy jewellery. Limit the earrings to one pair. It is fashionable for mainly youthful women to put a row of up to eight earrings on one ear and this may be revolving to the interviewers. Do not under any circumstances wear nose studs to a job interview.
Men can wear suits or jackets and trouser that match in terms of colour coordination. The colours should be neutral or dark. Blue, black or grey are best for men. Wear a neck tie even if you will never wear one after you get the job. And it is good to try the neck tie for a few days ahead of the interview so that you get the feel of it. Shoes should be clean and polished. Avoid the exaggerated and pointed ‘ pastors’ shoes and those wide- soled boat shoes when going for the interview. Black shoes often give the right professional image.
