To continue my writing on dressing for the workplace, dressing for the job interview is a must and it is the first step for success. Everyone gets confused when they are choosing dresses to get ready usually for their first interview. It is true that the first impression is noticed from your dress by the interviewer and shows if the person taking the interview is serious and respectful.Moreover, it will be an encouragement to build self-confidence.
In the workplace, the way of dressing is very important as our colleagues build a picture in their mind by looking on our dresses without noticing our knowledge or intelligence level. For example,if an interviewee wears a clean, neat and professional clothes, then the professional dress implants confidence in them (Obispo,2016).

There are some tips to follow for dressing to make a positive
impact at the time of interview. First of all, it depends on the type
of job and then one could spend some time on the internet to grab
information about the company or workplace dressing policies to
choose appropriate outfits. If a person is still not sure, then he/she should call the HR department of the company and take recommendations on the best and suitable outfits for the interview. One more important thing an interviewee should remember is that wearing any kind of perfume or body spray is totally prohibited for a good interview (Forbes,2014).
I conclude with an old saying that 'Perception is a reality'. It is really good to think about the image one could want to formulate during an interview and then choose a dress that will create a positive perception.impact at the time of interview. First of all, it depends on the type
of job and then one could spend some time on the internet to grab
information about the company or workplace dressing policies to
choose appropriate outfits. If a person is still not sure, then he/she should call the HR department of the company and take recommendations on the best and suitable outfits for the interview. One more important thing an interviewee should remember is that wearing any kind of perfume or body spray is totally prohibited for a good interview (Forbes,2014).
