What to wear on that crucial first interview
By Kim Carlson
Of the Emerald
The first thirty seconds are crucial.
Many experts agree that in the first moments of a
job interview the person in the hiring position gains
important impressions of the potential employee — im
pressions that ultimately count toward giving that per
son the job, or perhaps, toward giving the job to the
next applicant in line.
Two characteristics especially tend to be noticed
during those first few minutes: confidence and ap
pearance. "Impressions are real important," says Eileen
Fletcher of the University Career Planning and Place
ment Center. "It's part of the hiring process."
A professional attitude and a professional image are
specifics an interviewee should concentrate on, says
Fletcher. Developing an approach takes practice, but it
isn't impossible. Learning how to dress for the inter
view is not either difficult, but it too takes some pre
interview planning and thought.
For men it has traditionally been fitting to wear a
suit, or at least a jacket, to an interview; a tie is always
proper. John Bigelow, a recent University graduate who
now works as a marketing representative at IBM in
Seattle, wore the same suit to every interview he did
during his job search (over 13 at IBM, and others with
Proctor and Gamble and the Xerox corporation). "I did
buy some new suits when I got the job,” laughs John.
For women, knowing what to wear is a little less
cut-and-dry. Fletcher claims that there are still "rules to
abide by,” but adds that women don't necessarily have
to wear the traditional conservative navy blue suit to an
interview. Kaufman's fashion director Mary jane Stuck,
and Rita Litin, the owner of the Attic Dresser in Eugene,
both agree.
"Women have become accepted (in the business
world), and they no longer have to wear three-piece
suits," Stuck says. She says women should dress in a
"feminine but professional" manner for job interviews.
Litin says that it is important for a woman being in
terviewed to feel good in the clothes she's wearing.
"The woman is going to look comfortable if she feels
comfortable," she says. On the same hand a woman
shouldn't be careless about how she looks during an
interview, Fletcher says. "Feel comfortable in what vou
wear. Don't just wear what you feel comfortable in,"
she advises.
One of the most sensible ways for women to deter
mine what they should wear to an interview, says
Stuck, is to consider the job they're interviewing for.
"You have to relate to the area of business you're go
ing into," she says.
Litin agrees. She says that women who are going in
to retail should dress with a bit more of a creative em
phasis on fashion, while women who are interviewing
for a job at a bank should probably dress more conser
vatively. Stuck suggests that researching the company's
dress code or seeing what its employees usually wear,
is important. "You don't want to be overdressed or
underdressed," she says.
Fletcher points out that there are geographical con
siderations to address: A person interviewing for an
advertising job in Eugene would dress differently from
a person interviewing for an advertising job in San
Francisco. “Ask someone in the field," she suggests.
“Get an idea of what they wear."
Suits, not necessarily navy blue ones, vary in cost
with fabric and quaity, but usually run in the $150-$200
range. “It's a major investment," Litin says. She sug
gests that after making that initial investment, a woman
can dress up the suit with accessories for different in
terviews; a silk or cotton blouse, neckties, scarves and
jewelry all work to create an image. Coatdresses, which
are usually less expensive than suits, are also viable
alternatives, says Litin.
High quality separates are good investments for the
career woman, says Stuck. She says that wearing a
jacket, blouse and skirt is definitely appropriate for
most interviews. She also has other suggestions, some
which might depend for their success on the interview
ing company's codes: tailored trousers worn with a
jacket; a suit worn with a sweater; or maybe a dress
worn with an easy jacket.
“Quite simply they (the interviewers) look for pro
fessionalism in the way you dress,” she says. Im
maculate attention to detail and fit is important; the
lines should be flattering, she says. "Understated
elegance is the key."
The color of dress should not be overpowering, the
experts agree. Wearing "subdued colors accented with
bright colors," is usually fitting, says Stuck. Litin sug
gests.caution when considering color. She might, for
instance, disuade an respondent from wearing a
lavender suit because there's a chance the interviewer
"absolutely hates that color." She suggests something
more nuetral.
"It (color) cannot be intimidating to the employer,"
she says.
Still, there is an exception to every rule. Litin tells a
story of a lawyer friend of hers who interviewed for a
job at a prestigious Portland law firm, wearing a bright
red knit dress. "A bright red knit dress," emphasizes
Litin, still amazed.
And of course, the daring lawyer got the job.
