What to wear to an internship interview

Interviews are definitely a good sign, but you're not the only one they are interviewing most likely. They are still weeding people out. You will want to research popular interview questions and rehearse your answers in front of a friend or mirror. I know it sounds silly, but trust me it will pay off. Make sure you dress appropriately. That means dress how they dress not how you think they might dress.

An interview means that you look good on paper and they are willing to spend their time on you. If you are able try going to your least desired locations first for practice. I'm not looking for a job right now but I still apply around just to interview.

What to wear to an internship interview

Either a dark grey , black or navy suit white blouse or dark blazer and skirt all pressed- i have never really thought dress slacks are a good idea for an interview
make sure your shoes are shined and in good shape
beige or light black stockings
new and medium sized purse and perhaps a small briefcase to carry your resume
Bloomingdale's is fine but you do not have to spend
lots of money to look good just simple and professional

Your fingernails are clean with clear or muted polish colors
Subtle color lipstick and simple eye make up

  • Had you hair cut and combed neatly back avoid wearing a pony tail
  • A simple watch or ring and earrings
  • No nose or lip piercings please
  • Dress as a respectable lady your age should look
  • Speak clearly and at an even pace
  • Do not talk too slow or too fast
  • Do not say words like yeah use proper grammar
  • Relax
  • Be honest
  • Ask questions related to the job
  • Be prepared to answer why you want this job
  • Look enthusiastic and interested
  • Act natural but professional
  • Think of what you would look for if you were hiring someone to work for and represent you
  • That is what i look for when i interview people for a job
  • I look at appearance, attitude- watch body language
  • Also look for self
  • Confidence without arrogance
  • I wish you all the best
  • Now go get it!
