What HR Managers Learn About You By Looking at Your Clothes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2018
- If you want to get your dream job, it’s crucially important to make the best possible first impression on the recruiter, and everything, including your style, means a lot. There are five vital things you should know that hiring professionals use to form their opinions about you and decide if you will fit into the corporate culture and get the job or not.
Sherry Maysonave, head of Empowerment Enterprises, an image consulting firm based in Austin, Texas, says that the first impression happens in less than 30 seconds and it’s based entirely on your attire.
Using the color of your clothes, you can influence other people however you want. Pastel colors in clothes and makeup can help you win other people’s trust. The most important thing is not to overdo it. Blue is probably the best color choice for a job interview, unless you’re aiming for a creative job. The color red represents the life force and the inclination to be successful and efficient.
Business suits are not always the best choice for a job interview because the impression you may give the employer is that you are “overqualified.” A tasteful statement dress that doesn’t reveal your neckline and ends around 1 inch above the very top of your knee will do just fine.
Your attire should be as close to the company dress code as possible. People are more eager to accept other people who are like them, so the more you look like the other employees, the easier it is for an HR manager to imagine you working with them.

SUMMARY
-Blue is probably the best color choice for a job interview. If you choose clothes with contrasting colors, you could make a powerful and dominant impression. The worst color choice for a job interview, according to studies and opinions of specialists, is orange - it’s often associated with something unprofessional.
-A business quit is the perfect choice if a manager is hiring for a senior-level position, a flower print dress won’t do in this case. But if you are looking for a job teaching children or a creative job, this type of attire is not just appropriate, but also preferable.
-It’s better to impress your prospective employee with your professional achievements and attitude to work than with luxury brand logos.
-Bad manicure, old clothes, and other little flaws, can make a very negative impression. Wear small and elegant pieces of jewelry like small earrings, bracelets, and watches. Your bag should have a clear shape.
-Use social media to find out all about the company dress code and try to look like the other employees at the interview.

Great video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (search on google)? It is a smashing exclusive product for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my BF at last got excellent success with it.
That's highly COMPELLING!

Hello Bright Side. I work for Employment and Training in Orange County NY. We are making a PowerPoint presentation for our unemployed and welfare to work clients and we were wondering if we can link your video for reference in our presentation. We are NOT selling this presentation. We only using it in our program to teach them about dress for success and what to wear when preparing for an interview. Your video will get more views and our unemployed and welfare to work clients will benefit from it. Thank you so much it will be greatly appreciated.
People need to keep in mind especially HR managers, if you are looking at someone's resume and they haven't worked in a while I would not expect much like well manicured hands and brand clothes keep in mind these people haven't had a job in a while so money will play a huge factor in their appearance. However a great shower well iron clean fresh clothes shows humbleness for the interview definitely always gets me my perfect employee at all times. People who haven't had a job in a while or always grateful for you providing them a start over in life. Liberation looks so good on your employee I always get these people and they show up on time they do their job they're always doing overtime and they always want to succeed within company, So HR people keep that in mind.
I don’t like brand name as long as my clothes fits me well
I don’t like brand name as long as my clothes fits me well
You can -- and SHOULD -- have well-manicured hands at any economic/societal level. No excuse for your nails to be gnarly.

@@Karen-gh8gv You don't have kids, do you?
Blue is definitely the best color for a job interview. I used to have a royal blue blouse that I wore to about 15% of of my interviews. Every single job interview I wore the blue blouse to, I got the job! Every single one!
Royal blue is the colour i most dislike. Its loud, conservative, yukk on skin colour. ...🙄💦
That’s why I got out of corporate and started my own business...too many rules and regulations and I got tired of playing the game. All of these tips are helpful but I’ve learned that if a hiring manager likes you and feels that you fit into the culture of the company, you’re hired!

Make s alot sense smh
Not everyone can do this.
I have the perfect grey dress. Very tailored, timeless, and looks good with a jacket. Every time I wore it, I got the job.
Grey is perfect.
@@solidcatink Yes it is and there's a shade for everyone. Well said.
Barbara Burns Brunelle
That’s where I went wrong then...I hate gray and it looks horrible with my skin color.
Im going for an interview tomorrow ~ luckily my dress is grey
Can I borrow that dress?
... Is anyone else a bit uncomfortable with how overly sexualized the graphic was ?
Yes...it made it hard to take this video seriously.
Yes, it's the typical HR horseshit.
Not uncomfortable but it looked like a librarian costume worn by Brittni, the swing shift stripper at the Cinnamon Pony.
true
Y'all take everything so seriously
This is what really annoys me about HR departments: not only do they interview for jobs that they don't actually understand ( e.g. HR don't understand accounting but they might screen potential accountants).
So they will hire someone for a position they don't understand based on whether they like the way they are dressed 😩
Did they really compare a nurse to a "shop assistant"? Nurses have degrees and licenses and they are expected to dress in business attire for interviews.
I was looking for someone to talk about this.
That was crazy. I have never been to a nursing interview in anything less than business attire. Who wrote this advice? Nursing is a profession.
@@anitalaff It seems they were commenting that if it's a creative job, you can get away with bolder or more unique colors and styles. If you're going for a corporate position then a suit is the way to go. A suit would come off as stiff for a designer job and maybe also for a nurse. I think that's where they were going with that comment. Nurses, like shop assistants should exude warmth, empathy and generally come off as a "people person". That's hard to do in a stuffy suit.
Cherie Durksen .... now days there are some really nice scrubs out there --Greys Anatomy’s--just curious what you think about that; I already work for the facility -actually a Prison (Correctional RN) ... good fitting scrubs
My husband went in a suit. He is a nurse. Nailed the interview. It is a profession.
Go for a job interview is a purple suit? Unless I'm applying to be a batman villain, I don't see how that's a good look.
Jesus Christ Jesus! 😂😂😂
I did that once and it didn’t work out. It was funny though! No I wasn’t serious about the job and yes I was young.
😂😂
Navy blue, grey and charcoal grey are the best colors for a mens suit. Stay away from all flashy suits. Stay away from black, brown, and tan suits. If you don't know what color tie to wear go for blue with either stripes or small patterns. Stay away from large patterns.
That was for a designer position.
As an experienced former HR Manager who interviewed candidates for many positions at all levels in several different industries.... prepare prepare! The first impression is very important, but not as important as the content of your interviews and your composure. Research the organization and your prospective role in this company. Prepare for questions related to your job history .... your successes as well as those things you have learned along the way that make you flexible and a team worker. As for your outfit.... as the video suggests, dress for the nature of your prospective position ... but with a conservative edge.... appropriate for that business and it's role in your community and markets. Have good references. Don't interrupt the individual who is interviewing you, especially if what you say is contradictory. Listen and pay attention for your own knowledge and have questions that are relevant. All of these aspects, managed by YOU carefully will prepare you as best as possible for the opportunity and will probably result in a second interview and more.
Nadia .S I agree with your comment in its entirety. (Hopefully it will gain more likes and be bumped up to the top.) I have never held a position in HR, but based on my experiences in various jobs/companies, I am able to reflect on what worked (or didn’t) during the interview process. Preparedness is KEY! Your comment is by far the best and most helpful/informative in the entire section! Thank you for sharing with everyone and here’s to the hope that it will serve as inspiration for jobseekers everywhere.
•To expand on the advice from the OP:
-Dress appropriately for the job you are interviewing for. Your clothes should be neat and fit well, paired with appropriate (and CLEAN) shoes. Good hygiene along with basic hairstyle, minimal jewelry, and natural-looking makeup (if you wear it) rounds out your look. Again, be prepared so you can tailor your interview outfit for the specific job position. Good luck!
@@jessicachandler4410 Thanks! Glad my experience can be helpful as I'm about to retire at 66! It's been a very interesting career as you can imagine!
Stalk the person who will be interviewing you, then wear the exact same thing that they are wearing that day. It will get you noticed, especially if they catch you peering through their bedroom window!
That behavior will get you more than "noticed"; it will get you an all expense paid trip (including meals) and an indefinite stay to the special hotel built for clever ones who now deserve vip treatment from government officials!! :)
Lol
🤣🤣🤣

Blazers are always my go-to look for interviews
Alyssa Alcantara Me too, you can't go wrong.
Nine months ago I showed for my interview (I'm qualified for the job and got it!) wearing a muted black and white pair of ankle slacks paired with a white button-down with a short, structured, black blazer (I'm female). When the director greeted me, she said, "You look like someone who is here for an interview!" I had yet to introduce myself or ask for her. She saw me and came over to me. Clothing does make a difference wether anyone claims otherwise. It is viewed as respectful because the interviewee took time to look position-professional and the prospective employer gets an idea of how you'll appear toward clients. It's not everything, but looking tidy and professional helps with business.
Black is the best for a standard business interview. I have landed plenty of jobs. If i start to not get a job, i will take their advice.
I dunno, a dark navy has done me well without making me look goth or dead the way black does
I wear every day black troughsers suit and I experience that the people are more polite with me and I can do every official case in an easier way. They trust me much better anywhere I am.
I mustnt wear this official clother in my work but I like the advantages!
Agree. Colors just seem like you aren't about buisiness and playful.
Well fitting black pants, spotless white shell and black blazer with black shoes. Simple but nice jewelry, a gold chain, a nice watch and no more than 2 rings, one on each hand. Have a fresh manicure that's a subtle color like a pinkish mauve. If your diamond wedding ring is huge maybe consider just wearing your wedding band, it'll be less distracting and if you're interviewed by a woman she may not like you because you have a nicer ring than she does. Women notice jewelry and judge.
laura b..I love the color Black and I wore a double-breasted Black pant suit to an interview for a Nursing position, and years later I found out that they were very impressed with my style.. I overheard them say that I definitely know how to dress, but I thought I was over-dressed. I was just used to suits, so I made the right decision after all!😁
Good grief. Just one of the multitude of reasons I choose to remain self -employed.
Me too. I choose what I wear and I focus on my skills.
I'm about to be self employed. Lol
Depending on what you do, usually you do have to deal with customers when you are self-employed. And these things do, to an extent, work similarly with people looking to engage your company...
Jerry Mina - Agreed!
Successfully self employed wear only what the wife buys for me at the second hand store and my neighbors are envious
Most places it won't be HR that is interviewing you. It will be someone within that department. Research is honestly your best bet. The information about color though is something I do practice.
In Ireland for any job there will always be someone from HR for the interview for a career role bank/insurance/ etc..For a shop or small buisness then no.
The color and style of the clothes make first impressions but colors and styles can be viewed differently in different countries and also it’s reasonable to choose them based on the type of job you’re applying for.
However, I think it’s important to present yourself the way you are and not cover your personality in the color or style of the clothes.
The drawing of a woman tells me everything I need to now about this video.
LOL
Not me. From Tampa Bay area. It's cute.
Know*
Thank you, it was interesting. I’m thankful that I don’t work in offices. I’m a female pianist. I prefer colours, dresses, make up, perfumes :)
Once again, I’m hearing a lot of scrutiny for what women wear and zero for men
I was taught in school to wear black and white to a job interview.
as in Harlequin? ;)
solidcatink She wears black and red.
Who wears black and red? :) I've seen black and white harlequins.
See the black and white harlequin. Also, I was just playing with ya :)
solidcatink Hold up wait a minute! Bout to go check that out.
I have my favorite interview dress. It's navy blue with a hemline that hits at the bottom of the knee, and the fabric has nice movement and "float". It has half sleeves that look right any season.
The drawings of women are quite... ridiculous and unnecessarily sexist. Also, the pic to talk about prints? Please! It's so unnecessary.
i know right?? like.. why
Also, I want to say "if you are applying for a creative position" the hiring manager is NOT going to look at your clothes, but at the quality of work in your portfolio. These dress rules actually do NOT apply to "creative positions". You would not even get invited for an interview if your portfolio (that get's you that interview in the first place) is bad.
Always dress for the job you want, not the job you have!
Why do they say that?
Since I worked in a bank, I attend job interviews only in business clothing. And I also heard of something called etiquette. I think that you can not go wrong with that knowledge.
Heels - lower ones, with wider heel. ALWAYS wear pantyhose for formal occasions.
Skirt - not shorter than 10 centimeters adbove the knees. Or trousers. But formal ones.
The top - you can have lower neckline on your top, but your cleavage should not be seen. You should have your shoulders covered. You can never go wrong with a blouse. Pastel/white colours with dark skirt or trousers is just fine.
For men, always wear a tie. Black suit is for occasions like funeral, wedding or theatre. For business meeting it's better to wear a gray or blue suit. Your shoes should be the same colour like your belt.
I like the part about the colors. I was never big on brands or accessories, though.
Wearing clothes that fit you properly is also a good idea.
- Ziro out.
Thanks for mentioning fit. I have to hem every pair of slacks I buy. I have blazer sleeves shortened by a tailor.
Ziro I
Pam W, same here! I'm so short it's unreal. I actually have a pair of jeans on the ironing board to hem at the moment.. lol.
OK now lets get to the part of the vid that they didn't talk about, shall we? They judge by colors alright, the color of your skin also. Female interviewers also can be judgemental if they are interviewing a woman, who they feel is more attractive than them. And regardless of the reason why you haven't worked in a good while, as in years due to health reasons for example, they judge off of that also, and won't hire you. They wouldn't want to be judged easily, so they shouldn't do it to others.
J T In a perfect world but we both know that will never happen!
Karen Cole exactly
I noticed this mistake in the video as well...it should read " whom they feel is more attractive than they"...sounds weird I know but the "are" is implied.
tee bee true
tee bee I’m almost done my Marketing Program and at the beginning of it one of my instructors told a student who by looking at her has had a rough life VERY nice woman in not so many words but trying to be professional that she was wasting her time in the program. What I found out later is that a lot of companies when hiring go off how one looks as well as qualifications. I was shocked at first but then when I googled online I read multiple posts of older individuals that were having a hard time getting hired and plenty of them had the qualifications. Basically they pass the first round where the application was reviewed but as soon as they went for the face to face they didn’t get hired and it was clearly based off appearance. It’s sad but that is the way it is.
BE SIMPLE AND CLASSIC NAVY WHITE SHIRTS AND MEDIUM HEELS LITTLE MAKEUP . AND A GENUINE SMILE....
throw in a scarf or a pair of interesting earrings though or you might look too bland
great tips!
A "navy WHITE shirt"? what??
Curtistine Miller I’ve heard recruiters say they get so tired of seeing navy blue, so I wear cobalt or teal blue. Still looks professional & you stand out a bit.
@@constanceroyval767 Great language skills here, eh? :) But they don't matter these days. Careless punctuation is a sign of 'smarts' these days. Yeah, yeah, i kid you not! Sometimes it's almost obvious that people throw in or rather leave grammatical errors and typos in emails.. it's that concept of 'je ne sais quoi..' You're seen as smarter, more techie, if you do.
It's always been like that. And it always will be. You're always supposed to dress as if you're one level higher than what you're being hired for. It shows that you are oriented in your mind to be more than just where You are...
For all the people playing dumb in the comments: of course that your knowledge and experiences is what they look for, but what if someone else is just as good as you? Your appearance and behaviour will count and they'll judge you by those details because we "leave our fingerprint" in everything we do, wear or say.
Lídia Sposito i've studied business management and engineering and have a lot of experience on hiring processes. I can assure you that a qualified HR manager won't care about your clothes. Just in your abilities for the job. In the case that two people have the same capabilities for the job, a second round of interviews will be held, with more personalized questions.
actually clothing choice in interview usually matter because like it or not, you are being judged by your image. Its called first impression
Of course, and it will only last about 10 seconds. On the first people management class the first thing they taught us is to not make THE hiring mistakes, which included emotional hiring and prejudice. Also they emphasize on how much the interviewer is trained not to make those mistakes. I guarantee that if you ever get to work in a serious and decent company, this is how it will be done
Of course Behaviour will count but what u mean by appearance????
I went for an interview with long hair and beard. They simply ask me whether I’m ready to cut my hair and shave to get that job. I said no!!!
What if I’m a bald person??? Will they snd me to put some wig???
Surprisingly annoying!!!
martín bergmann. That depends entirely on the business. Watching how people dress is not necessarily emotional hiring. If the future employee will be in contact with customers for example, he/she MUST dress that way in the interview. I worked in finances for a while, the color red on a friggin tie was considered too progressive by some companies. You sound like you have no clue outside your very limited area.
I look at people’s expressions and how they are feeling. It’s a natural reaction
I showed up early for my interview in a suit and tie. The HR woman was 15 minutes late, came in, called my name and never introduced herself. She just said, "Follow me." I thought she may have been a runner and was asked to come out and get me. As we entered an office, she said this is where the interview would take place. As I sat down in the chair she took the other side of the desk. I still had no idea what position she held or what her name was as she started asking questions. I had to ask her what her name and position was halfway through the interview. She was not even dressed professionally, but in jeans and a pullover shirt for being a large corporation. I was dressed well enough that you would have thought I was in a high-ranking position with the company. I immediately knew this is not the kind of place I'd want to work for when HR looks and acts so unprofessional. These are usually the people a job interviewee is the first to meet, they should be making a phenomenal impression for themselves and the company. Yet, she has a job.
Dress for the job you want.
Put on your wedding clothes (if you are married)thats the best clothes ever.
I would just wear pajamas. I wanna work at home
*wears lingerie and angel wings*
HR managers are people just like us. Their decisions SHOULD be based on skills, abilities, qualifications and experience but instead, too many times are based on race or how they feel a person will "fit in" to the office. The bottom line is personal preference
What if the HR manager is colorblind?
As an exotic dancer i do need short skirts low cut tops heels heavy makeup and animal print. So the job your applying for greatly influences how you need to dress.
You’re giving HR managers way too much credit... This might ring true at Fortune 500 companies, but very few companies spend the type of money it takes to hire such talented managers!
Hello beautiful lady, how are you doing today?
Hey I hope everyone has a blessed day!!
I think your age and the position in which you're applying, makes a significant difference as to what attire is appropriate. If you're going for a leadership position, the most important image to display is that you have had success, in this case, showing name brand clothes and having the latest phone is a good thing. On the other hand, if you're very young and applying for an entry level position, name brand clothes and the latest phone could demonstrate ones lack of responsibility for priorities. There are other factors that contribute to how appropriate certain attire ends up actually appearing, how you carry yourself, how articulately you speak and most importantly, how well mannered you are. My point, your attire is to one extent justified by the way you walk, sit, speak and demonstrate respect for your potential employers!!!
Glad I'm retired! I don't have any patience with this sort of stereotyping and pigeon-holing! I wear colors I like. Period. I dress for comfort. That doesn't mean I'm not competent and capable. I am multi-talented and creative. I detest rigidity. People need to lighten up. Choose people on their talents, education, and accomplishments, not their attire!
Tbh it’s fine as long as you dress appropriately, be clean and tidy. What more important is your personality and your skills.
I had a job interview a couple of weeks ago, and I asked them about the daily wardrobe. they asked me back for a second "working" interview where I wore said uniform, that I bought the day before, and got the job. I have an interview tomorrow for a different job (so I can have a second job when I finish school) but I forgot what I wore to the first interview for the other job!
Whoa, seriously i can't skip this video... i was melted by heart
Lol I think I dressed well and was well tidy with a smile on my face.
What I lacked was my presence .
I was nervous, I spelt coffee before I got to the interview.
So be careful of that.
If you want a job don't seem nervous, you gotta be confident and calm and talk highly of yourself.
Sometimes....all you have to do before an interview is ask what the dress code is and go from there...it doesn't have to be a big deal!
that dishwasher I hired because he wore a tie, turned out to be the best one I've had in years!
I always go with black or dark blue. High quality cloths without any obvious lables. Despite my very anxious personality I try to seem as confident yet genuine as possible. If I know I'm weak in a certain area and the interview points it out I simply state my ability to learn and desire to grow, ending with eye contact and a smile.
It is good to have eye contact but please don't stare an interviewer down.
I think and firmly believe that it also depends where you or in what states you live, or rather, where the job interview is. Just relocated here to Colorado Springs from Vegas. I am a Victim Advocate, whose always around and talk to other professionals. My job requires me to be present in court hearings and at times represent a part of community meetings as well. Had been going to job interviews here for the same position and each time I noticed they don't dress professionally. Feeling like I am over dress and seeing everyone is looking at me. In fairness, I see that the men in HR are dressed either in suits or shirt and tie.
Yup an interview in Pittsburgh is waaaay different than in NYC!!
I always try to look like an upper middle class person, regardless of how much money I'm making at the time. I've gotten really skilled at making clothes from Target look much more expensive and "high-class," by using bright jewel tones and funky/pretty earrings and such. I try not to seem desperate, even if I am.
So basically rid of your self worth, to impress people who judge you and assume you to be a certain way, then work with those kinds of people everyday, until eventually you lose who you are as a person, so that they remain happy and content. No thanks. I'd rather work for myself or someplace that hires me for my qualifications and not my clothes. There are still people like that out there I hope.
I wear a white blouse and black slacks with black flats. Minimal jewelry includes a necklace, watch, and ring. Neat eyeliner and mascara. Chapstick. Hair down. Usually straightened.
I work in IT. Nobody wears suits day-to-day. I wore a salt-and-pepper tweed jacket and black skirt to my last interview, with a blue blouse. Plain silver ball earrings, one simple ring. I don’t wear obvious brands. Got the job - the best I’ve ever had.
For females - Muster color full sleeves collared shirt always work for interviews. Note: If the fabric is Georgette wear it tucked out. In cotton or polyester, tuck in with deep navy blue/black trouser. Don't forget to wear a thin belt with 1"width in brown/black color. Carry beige/brown/black monocolor medium size handbag 👜. Accessorise yourself with small Diamond studs or pearl drop/round earrings, wear a watch with metal Dial n Belt. Wear a minimum of 2" heels or wedges in mono color. Use light makeup with Matt lipstick best suited to your complexion. Even red works if you can carry. Apply kajal/maskara which will enhance your eyes and leaves an impression of a confident and suitable employee for a particular job. Note: Avoid red/bold colored nail polish. Pastels/nude or no nail polish are best for interviews (provided you hands are will moisturised and nails are properly filed). Last but not least, Hair. Leave your hair open if you've got a nice haircut 💇(no more funky look though) or just simply put a pony tail (The motive is to look tidy😊 and not messy😟). Now, you're ready for interview. All the best girls.😀👍
I can't believe women voluntarily subject themselves to all of this nonsense. Just reading this comment was exhausting. Where do you people find the time, money, and patience for all this extraneous stuff? And especially in the stressful time of job hunting? Wow!
I’m 5’10” lol I never wear heels to an interview, men/women are intimidated by tall women. I “ dumb” down my looks by no makeup and glasses, women also don’t like too attractive women working for them ( they’re untrustworthy ) in their eyes. I can’t leave my Afro open, I place it in a nice bun because, it’s a “distraction”
LucyLynette IKR? I have never gone through all of this for a job interview and I have always gotten the job I wanted and rarely have had to apply at more than one business when job hunting.
If u have long hair which hair style will suitable for interview ?
I like to dress up in blue and add details using the brand color :)
That's a good idea. It would be overdoing it to go full blown corporate branding color, but a little bit of it should signal that you are interested in "joining the team."
I work for one of the major discount-store chains, and their main requirements are closed-toed shoes, clean clothing without holes, and a collar shirt. I like the leeway with our pants type because I am much more physically and mentally comfortable in skirts. It may seem like an odd choice for stocking merchandise but the shelving is low enough that I rarely need a step stool. Mid-calf skirts (with bike shorts underneath for modesty/chafing) are still short enough to prevent tripping on fabric. Our collared shirt can be any style within reason; I pick polos because they’re durable and easy to match with a fun pair of patterned socks. I like this semi-uniform dress code; we all ‘fit in’ but can express individual tastes with patterns and hair accessories and shoe style (and now with the style response to the mandatory masks).
I was an HR Manager for over 10 years, this is all spot on!
Belinda Joy Thank you, I saved this video for future reference!
Belinda, I wouldn't be so quick to admit to prejudging people here in the wild west of RUclips comments, if I were you. I'm not even job hunting at the moment, and a real person confirming this superficial nonsense to be accurate is leaving me fuming. I can't imagine what desperate job seekers are feeling.
LucyLynette, we don't know one another, but I will attempt to give you some friendly life and work experience. I don't know how old you are, but you will find in life, we *"judge"* one another all the time in all situations. An HR manager's primary job is to judge potential applicants to determine whether they are appropriate for the company they work for.
Here we are on RUclips and in the process of leaving me a comment warning me against *"prejudging others"* YOU prejudged me. I think that was lost on you. Are you that rarely seen Unicorn that NEVER posts a negative or contrary comment in social media when you disagree with someone's perspective? My guess is you HAVE posted negative comments toward others. But....there I go prejudging you.
See how that works?
Oh my... I think I’ll go to work dressed like Prince tomorrow, just to counteract the utter boredom...
Great job on the video, I learned a lot from this video, and how to wear proper clothes to an interview! Thank you, for uploading this video.
Wear, Navy, black, white or grey. For job interviews. And your best shoes. Minimal perfumes and colognes. Pop a mint, look clean and professional ladies wear Minimal jewelry amd Understated makeup and always bring your own 🖊 pen. A classy pen 🙂
I think Hr manager should hire employees depending on their experience and performance. Not with prejudging with clothes and personality.
So don’t dress too rich? ... To me that is borderline discrimination. So someone takes pride in Enid appearance or really values quality ? Oh that’s horrible . Terrible trait.
Rebecca Suraci I know, are they saying we should show up with our deisgner handbags. It shouldn’t matter if where your stuff is from.
I have recruited, helped evaluate candidates and discussed this with others inteviewing recruits.
How you application and you look (and more important act) does matter.
Many have good CVs , are really ambitiouscan handle an interview.
My own opinion is that personal traits are most important. If soemone is outgoing they will stay outgoig. or creative, analytic, correct etc. The interview situation is not everyday work- the thing is to figure out how someone whoudl be evey day and fit in with existing/other group members. Not always does one understand soemone after 30 miuntes of polite roleplay...
This video reminds me again why HR is with a distance the most useless department in a company. The bias presented in this video is scary to say the least.
Yeah i agree with you.
Red plaid Harris tweed jacket, black pleated slacks, moderate black heels, and a stand-collar white shirt.
Works for just about anything, for anyone. (If you don't like pleats, go flat front with lower rise.) Women have the option of a skirt, but we don't have to anymore.
Hello beautiful lady, how are you doing today?
Best thing I’ve had luck with in interviews is a well tailored, semi-form fitting black or navy blue dress paired with a black or navy blue blazer. I usually keep makeup natural and my hairstyles usually tied to a simple, elegant chignon or bun. Usually the only jewelry I wear is a simple watch and small silver hoops. It’s worked since college and it seems to universally be loved with HR wherever I happen to be interviewing.
So many great tips! Thank you so much :)
This has some very valueble information. The colors and outfits are definitely the very first thing an employer will look at and they do make first glance opinions. But, I do disagree about yellow...I trust that color very little. And from experience, I have been correct everytime.
Very useful.....Make a video for men also
Could the animation be any more sexist?
Nope!
This is actually the difference between a job & a career..having been their it does make a difference especially if you are going to deal with their clients..
I'm glad I live in Florida, pretty much wear whatever you want. 🤗
The way I see it, HR managers are like fashion judges who observe people who are being hired for job interviews. For example, they'll say, "That polka dotted 👗 looks great. You're hired". 👍🏻 if you agree!
THEY SHOULD CHECK THE MENTALITY AND ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT NOT OUTER APPEARANCE ...... BTW NYC VIDEO 👍
shreya kumari exactly zero respect for the skill
Why are you shouting?
shreya kumari appearance is very important too,the way you dress say a lot about people,trust me.
But this is a normal human tendancy....the first impression is usually made by clothes....
Should. But they don't. You gotta work within the system.
Must wear navy blue during interview which show deligated personality with discipline😊
Remember the type of industry is the most important. If you are interviewing for a banking job in the Northeast, wear a suit. If you are interviewing at a Tech Company in Silicon Valley, wear whatever you want. At Google one of my best interviewers in five years wore sweatpants and had bed head. We didn't hire the one person that interviewed in a three piece suit. Ask your Recruiter or Hiring Manager what is common for that company and that is the best place to start. Lastly, your grooming is more important than your clothes. I hope this helps!
I think we should NOT be judged the way we are. Potential should be considered vs experience. Especially since I want to change my career choice. Give me a chance! I can learn and apply new methods easily because I am creative and dependable.
I'll give you a chance if you are clean, made an effort to play the interview game by not chewing gum, smelling like cigarettes, polished your shoes, etc.
Thank you! Prepared me for my interview next week.
Rose Appiah Good luck, think positive! ;)
Rose Appiah good luck
Rose Appiah if you're succesful let us know.
Best of luck
Good luck!
Wearing professional attire during a job interview nd choosing the style nd color without over doing it is one of the criteria but most of all your c.v nd credentials if you will be fit to what they are looking for😊showing your confidence nd posture is a big factor during your job interview ..a light make up that looks subtle which enhancing your looks is better
I always wear a subdued red. And always nailed it
Dress to the industry you are working for. For ex. If you are in the banking industry, the pick would be a discreet business suit and formal lace shoes, if on the other hand you are applying for a job in the Advertisement industry, its better to be casually dressed. If in doubt re check the dress code from some one who is already working in the firm you are applying to.
What are "formal lace shoes?" 🤔
Cerenade Me, i am not sure if you want an answer or you're just being sarcastic.😀😀
I'm totally serious :) (I don't own a single pair of shoes made of lace... Nor do I have any interest in buying any, lol)
OH - you mean like lace-UP shoes.... Like an oxford - That is totally different than lace --- haha Got it now 🤣😅
Cerenade Me, Eureka!
i wore jeans, sandals, and a green t-shirt to my interview for a management position, and i got the job.
of course, i was interviewing for management at a cannabis dispensary... ;)
Lol
These videos are great! Very helpful.
Excellent, Well Put in the Explanation!!!
Go with no clothes on, You'll seem confident for sure.
"Ma'am, you are just what we are looking for!" Girl with that super back arch in that video: "awesome!"
"Excuse me, my brains are up here!"
Much Dutch "wow, ma'am, you sure are smart!"
Her: "excuse me, my intelligence is up here"
"So do you think I'm qualified enough for the job"
_'yeah your cleavage ugh erg _*_*cough*_*_ clearly qualified enough'_
John White - same with a female interviewing a male: height, muscles, chiseled chin with bedroom eyes. "Yes although you don't have experience in this field, you're a quick learner and team player. I KNOW you'll fit right in" (as she thinks of his personal training).
This is psychology 101 - c'mon, HR nowdays protects the company NOT the emoloyee. Perception is reality. It doesn't matter if you're capable. A female VP deleted my project plan in SharePoint. You cant accidentally delete it and you have to really look how to delete it 3 layers deep. Anyways, soon after they created a new org chart and I was no longer on it because I had mentioned the deletion to my boss. HR likes superficial BS.
HR always protected the company, or who do you think pays their salary? Your mention of the gender of the VP is hilarious, though. After so many decades of females in the business, it still stings, eh. A million males do that, but one female. must. be. mentioned. Hilarious. xD
No Name - im female and women fight for women's right, freedom, equality and women's lib but they'll be the first to throw each other under the bus to protect their own job. Its much more difficult to advance under a woman because they hold grudges and are emotionally driven. If you're an attractive fast learner and innovative you wont advance. They'll remember that 1% poor rather than the 99% stellar. Maybe if one is a quiet mousy one that does C+ work at best then they'll advance because the female boss can still remain as the alpha female and in control. I will report to a male any day.
@@cocogomez2278 I work in the Performing Arts as a musician - an entirely different world, which is why I was curious about this video - but have found what you say to be true in my business as well. I REALLY wish it were not so, because as a busy male freelancer who needs to hire substitutes when I can't be two places at once, it can get complicated quickly if the best person to "cover" my part is a woman, and there are women in my part of the orchestra already. It makes my life unecessarily more difficult. I'll hear about everything EXCEPT about how she performed when I return. I've seen wonderful female players denied opportunities due to that mentality, OR, just as often, because a lot of my male colleagues find this dynamic exhausting and don't want to deal with it. (Then they are accused of wanting to keep an old boys' club.) Still, like most of my colleagues, I want the best person in my place, male or female, because the bottom line is the quality of the music and pleasing the conductor. I'M the one who gets in trouble if the substitute is sub par.
@@cocogomez2278 Well said! I agree and that's been my experience as a woman. I cannot for the life of me figure out why us women cut each other down so much when we should be lifting each other up. BTW, I heard "If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much!" Cheers!
@@cocogomez2278 I agree.
I have read that everyone looks good in cornflower/periwinkle blue. And it has a comforting effect on others. Just different enough to stand out, but it follows the guideline to wear blue.
Thank you for your great advice.
...still think it’s wrong to judge people and make a decision on someone in 30 seconds...
Welcome to how most of america works. Some like to judge others solely on the shoes someone has on
شَلَ م It is wrong. But what can you do?
It's human nature and everyone does it whether you realize it or not. People can feel each other's energy fields even if you arent aware of it.
Welcome to the real world. It's not just in America that HR tends to judge on appearance either. We all do it almost subconsciously anyways, our bodies are hard wired for it, survival of the fittest, who we find sexually attractive, who we deem as a threat, etc. I still think that some aspects of appearance can be overlooked if the person makes up for it in their intelligence and mannerisms though. Think about geniuses, who are usually eccentric and socially awkward. Obviously they go on to make enough of an impression with their brain power to overcome any physical appearance that was unkempt looking, or unusual senses of style. But, for the most part, regular people must pay attention to their appearance if they wish to make a good impression. Caring about your appearance shows that because you care enough to make a good impression, that you'll likely be a worker who will have the desire to be a valuable asset to the workplace as well.
It has nothing to do with energy field.
Orange is my favorite color tho. Imma do what I want.
Thank you so much for the advice! I just need some body to help me with my resume!
It worked I wore a Jean and a good long sleeves , and it worked, no issues with dressing, though as a surveyor I was asked to do a little test of equipment , outside the company's yard In all it was fun
*Nice video and explanation*
I'll need this in the future 😂😂
Blue is the color to make people trust you- I read that in a book somewhere
I use to go over and beyond to do this than boom life happens now I am pursuing entrepreneurship therefore I am my own blueprint and whatever I choose to manifest from how I carry myself now is my business opposed to dealing with a certain typical standard
HR are Hard Rocks
So, looks(fashion magazine level) are more important than competence and brains. Very subjective and prejudiced.
amalialovesicecream yes
That also depends on who the employer is. And its not that your looks are _more_ important, its that first impressions count. And how you look says alot about yourself and how you treat yourself and your things etc.
your videos are inspiration for me
I like to wear the company colors as part of my attire.
