how to look professional?

Question

how do you professional, like for an interview, without wearing a suit? Do you need a nice belt, with kackies and a collared shirt? stuff like that?

Answer 1

Yes....Silly Question...sorry but it helps

Answer 2

Kackies and a collered shirt works, or you can go with suit minus the tie and jacket - definately make sure everything is clean and ironed, and that it is fairly new - including shoes. I would recommend getting a haircut and making sure you are well groomed. Also remember to let your true self shine, the person interviewing you knows your background / education history based on your resume, He/she will also be checking to see if you are a good personality fit for the position. Good luck!

Answer 3

Get a nice pair of slacks with a belt. Wear a nice long sleeve shirt with a collar and tuck the shirt into the pants. And of course a nice pair of dress shoes ;)

P.S. Don't wear black pants and a white shirt. It will make you look like a waiter.

Answer 4

Look polished and clean. Have clean hair, no dirt under your fingernails, no stains on your shirt. Collared shirt would be good, yes khakis are fine, and fairly nice shoes. Have a firm handshake and look the interviewer in the eye when answering them. Do not use slang, but do not use big words that you aren't quite sure the meaning of, because you might say something you don't mean and embarrass yourself.

Answer 5

without wearing a suit, go for

well groomed generally
clean fingernails
shined shoes
Khakis and a colored shirt are good - consider a tie (if you are a guy)
good posture
clean hair, cut to the length that people at that biz use

And bring pen/pencil and something to write on to make notes for yourself.

It looks VERY unprofessional (unprepared) to borrow a pen/pencil from the interviewer unless they can see that yours just broke or ran out of ink

In fact, it would be worth your time to drive by the place and see exactly how people dress at that place of biz. but do it in the morning. They will not look as "dressed for work" at the end of the day.

Answer 6

Yes nice button down short sleeved collard shirt, kackies belt nice tie and if it were me I would also just throw a tie on as well. Good luck with your interview.

Answer 7

Black pants are more professional than khakis. Make sure they are pressed. Button down, collared shirt. A solid color like blue looks more professional than a print (such as stripes). Make sure it is pressed as well. A belt makes you look more polished. Black shoes that are polished. No gold chains around your neck and no ear piercings. Nice wrist watch looks nice, though. If you really want to be professional then add a jacket and tie.

Answer 8

Wear dark slacks and a white shirt with a tie, tied.
Wear shoes that will take a shine, and make sure they have one. Use formal English, not slang. Be interested in the interviewer and the job. Be on time.

Answer 9

Yes, you sure do. make sure you have nice shoes and a leather belt--and a great tie! Long sleeves are better than short.

If you have trouble, I have two pieces of advice--plainer is better (solid shirts aren't a sin, in other words) and ask a department store salesperson for help choosing, that's what they're there for.

Good luck!

Answer 10

well I'm not sure but you will need some nice shirt and pants with a belt. get an attractive watch and when you sit, don't look nervous at all and don't stay completely still and don't hesitate. That is what I think.

Answer 11

you want to try not to look like your going to a club. no loud colors. a good way to figure out what to wear is ask what the company dress code is before hand and scope it out you want to be a little better dressed than the people working there but not over dressed. make sure you have a hair cut too. good luck!!!
