Personal Presentation Performed Perfectly for Women

By Peter Fisher

Your interview is coming up and you are feeling very confident. You’ve thought through how your personal presentation will sound and you are ready to go. You are confident that you have anticipated the questions they might ask you and have prepared some great answers. You know what questions you need to ask them. Clean copies of your CV or resume are sitting in your briefcase. But before you go any further, you’d better ask yourself these questions and be sure you manage the visual impact:

What should I wear?

Generally, it's a good idea to wear a suit for a job interview. Go with something simple, not too stylized, in a neutral tone. The more conservative your field is, then the more conservative your suit should be For example, if you're applying for a job in an investment firm, go with a navy blue or dark grey suit; on the other hand if it’s with an advertising or PR company something more trendy or colourful would probably be OK. Dress suitably for success in your chosen field.

What if my interview is for a job in a casual setting?

It's always a good idea to match your interview clothing to the prospective job. If you are applying for a job working in a machine shop, you will look out of place wearing a formal suit. However, with that in mind, you should dress up a little more than you would for a day at work.

Personal Presentation Tips for Women

Wearing a dress is probably not the best idea. You might get by if you wear a colour-coordinated jacket, pastel blouse, and long skirt or trousers. But you can't go wrong wearing a navy-blue or medium- grey business suit, with a plain white, long-sleeved, blouse.

• If you wear tights (recommended), wear skin colour.

• Wear low-heeled, conservative dress shoes that match your outfit.

• Don't go without a belt if you're wearing a skirt or pants with belt loops. Wear a dress belt that matches your shoes (e.g., black with black).

• Style your hair tastefully or have it professionally done. If it's long, wear it up or back, so you're not constantly flicking it out of the way.

• Avoid bright or odd-coloured nail polish. Clear or no nail polish is best.

• Apply makeup sparingly and avoid unusual or bright colours. Definitely don't apply sparkles to your hair or face.

• If you wear earrings, wear small, conservative ones. Wear only one per ear in the traditional earlobe position. It's better to carry a briefcase or portfolio into an interview than a handbag.

My Interview Dress Tips are about getting this right because it boosts your confidence and feeling confident will ensure you have a better interview. There is one other thing that tends to sap confidence: being a little overweight can make you feel a little uncomfortable and is often the result of a lack of confidence, so its a vicious circle. If this is you then read my free advice at Lose weight in your sleep.

Dress for Success
Dress for Success and Get the Visual Messages Right! This is all about looking right for the job you applied and the organization you applied to, plus being seen by the hiring manager as someone who will 'fit in'.

Looking The Part
Looking the part is an essential aspect of winning a new job. There is a simple truth that says people tend to prefer others who are like themselves and if anything is very different, then they will unconsciously shy away from that person. So, if you want to get hired you need to do a little 'impression management' and these Interview Dress Tips will help.

First Impressions
First Impressions are formed when someone meets you for the first time, as at an initial interview. When you meet they will form their impression as they first see you, hear you and if their senses tell them something is disagreeable, your chances of getting hired go down the pan!

Body Language
The importance of body language is often mentioned, but doesn't always get the attention it deserves; it is both the most basic, fundamental form of expression used by human beings to communicate with one another, and at the same time a part of a highly sophisticated and culturally specific system of coded signals, in which bodily and facial movement play at least as important a part as verbal utterance.

Self Confidence
Self Confidence inevitably takes a knock when you lose your job – whatever the reason.What I’m going to describe is my version of what I believe you are going through, how it affects you, how it may affect your family or loved ones and what you can do about regaining your self confidence.

Anxiety Treatment
The symptoms of an Anxiety Attack aren’t always easy to recognize. The attacks themselves can be confusing as well as producing an intense “undefined” fear, often accompanied by severe discomfort and one or more physical symptoms. You can easily find yourself asking, “am I having an anxiety attack or not?”

To add to this confusion, anxiety symptoms can appear very similar to symptoms of an actual physical health problem, such as...

Personal Attributes
Personal attributes are those qualities that make you who you are. Some of these attributes are innate and others may be something you've learned or gained from experience; more about this in my Career Changer's Guide.
