Have you been trained well to dress yourself! Bad dressing sense or badly ironed shirt or high waisted trousers, may cost your job as they are bound to ruin your chances of getting a job in the tight job market.
This has been revealed in a research-survey of 2000 employers. The survey also found that over 30 percent bosses make decision about the candidate in the first 90 second of the interview.
Not just men but women too lose the chances to get a job if she being dressed in a tight top or showing cleavage or wearing a black bra underneath a white top. About 65 percent respondents claim clothing could be the deciding factor if two candidates are neck and neck in other areas.
A report of Daily Mail, based on survey commissioned by clothes store TK Maxx, says that experts feel that that the extremely competitive job market means it has never been so important to dress appropriately, with hundreds vying for each post.
Recruitment manager Kieran How, from recruitment firm Eden Brown, said it was best to “play it safe” at a job interview.
He said: “It is vital you give a good first impression by wearing the right clothes or you may have ruined your chances before you’ve even opened your mouth.
“Some bosses may like to see a pretty girl in a tight-fitting top flashing a lot of cleavage but you rarely know who will be interviewing you.
“It is advisable to play it safe by wearing well-fitted, ironed clothes in neutral colours. Men should shave, avoid comedy ties and pay just as much attention to their appearance as women.
“Job interviews are not the place to try fancy dress or to show off your most revealing party clothes,” How concluded.
