I have an interview tomorrow, and if you can see from my questions, I am in need of advice?

Question

I am 6 feet tall, and I have a job interview tomorrow.
Should I wear heels?

I don't want to tower over the interviewer, but I do want to look confident. I also cannot afford to go purchase new shoes just for this interview.

(I do have some small heels, and my interview shoes have a 2 inch heel on them, look very nice... from a second hand shop.

I do have some flat shoes, but they are sandals, and I am in Louisiana... I think that it will be cool tomorrow, so the weather does not permit sandals.

Answer 1

I am also 6 ft. tall and ALWAYS wear high heels!! It makes you look more professional wearing heels instead of sandals, flats are good as long as they are dressy and go with what you are wearing. It also lets the employer know that you are confident in yourself and don't mind being tall!! Right now I am wearing some knee high boots that are about 3 inches high with a long skirt!! Don't let it bother ya!! You're model height!!

Answer 2

Definitely don't wear sandals to a job interview unless the job is really casual, but even then I'd dress a little more professional. Most of my female friends are between 5'11 and 6'0 and they wear low heels when a heel is appropriate. Don't worry about your height. Even if you wore flats, the interviewer could be 5'4. There's nothing you can do about that. Just walk in there, look amazing and wow them with your knowledge. Good luck!

Answer 3

Honey, you can't help your height!!

Wear the shoes that look the nicest with your suit (2" heels or otherwise!), hold your head up high, put those shoulders back and smile! Walking into that interview with confidence will make a better impression than flats will any day.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Looking confident has much to do with posture.

1)Do not slouch. Align and straighten your spine
2)Pull back your shoulders
3)Head up. Alter your eye level without bowing your head or hunching your back
4)Place your weight evenly on both feet.

You don't need to be tall to look confident although i do agree height can be use as tool to intimidate others.

When it come to shoes, the safest is a harmless black cot shoe which goes with most formal outfit. What is most important however is that you are comfortable wearing that shoe. Meaning it does not make fidget or to stand on one leg. Yup, but if u have a to-die-for shoe which enhance your overall presentation and makes u confident. Go for it.

Answer 5

wear the shortest heels possible.
most women use heels because they are not tall enough, heels don't make you look confident. it's the height behind the heels that does. and you're already tall for a woman.
but wearing sneakers or sandals to an interview is unprofessional so just wear the smallest heels you have.

Answer 6

wear whatever shoes go with your outfit.
Your already 6', another 2 inches wont make much difference to the person interviewing you.
It's not your fault that your tall. If you stand up straight and look polished, you will show confidence. Besides, it is said the tall people get paid more =)

Answer 7

I would keep the look as if you intend go with the 3" heels. That should not play a part in your, I would not go with a flat if your wearing a suit and never go in sandals. They do not look very professional.

Answer 8

Wear the 2-inch heels. It's better to look your best than looking frumpy by wearing flats.

If you don't get hired because the Human Services V.P. or other officers are secretly intimidated by your height, you definitely do not want to work there anyway.

Answer 9

Wear the heels honey, stand proud of your height, you'll look more confident and professional. They aren't going to not give you the job because of your height!

Answer 10

I think you should wear the two inch heels and a black dress. It doesn't look too overpowering, and black dresses can look both simple and elegant. I go with the black dress!
