Your job interview is all about how you market yourself. Though it's always nice to impress your employer with your wit and skills, you still have to work on your appearance as well. According to what Sarah Rigg, a career management consultant at Randstad, has shared with Women's Health and Fitness, "Employers are particularly judgmental because they are about to make an investment in you, so presenting yourself as polished and made up appropriately for the role sends a strong message about your personality and professionalism."
Here are some beauty tips which can help you be more confident in your job interview:
Keep your hair simple yet elegant
If you have long hair, may it be straight, curly or wavy; the classic chic ponytail will always look best on you. This hairdo can also help you not to curl your hair with your fingers during an interview which could possibly lead to a negative impression. George Gonzalez, owner of George the Salon Chicago, said to Style Caster, "If your hair is long, pull it back in a chic ponytail. Then, you won't be tempted to nervously play or twist it while talking during the actual interview."
With this hairdo, you won't need harmful hairsprays to help you manage your hairstyle anymore. A simple yet handy light mist can do the trick. Also, make sure to keep your hair away and out of your face. You can use a bobby pins or barrette to help you fix it. Bangs are OK too. Just don't forget to keep it freshly trimmed and cleaned to create a more polish look.
Use light and natural colors for make up
In creating the perfect look for your job interview subtlety is the key. Remember to put your best yet simple, professional and sophisticated make up by using light and natural colors. Focus on making your skin look fresh and clean. Also refrain from creating a "going out" look using darker shades. You can still wear your electric lippie to your interview if you want to. You just have to tone it by patting your pout to lighten it and make it into a lip stain. Also, compact powder and mirror should always come in handy so you can still keep your face fresh and clean anytime of the day.
Your job interview is your key to get hired. So be beautiful amid pressure and always stand out to the crowd.
