Colors: if you’re going for an interview with a very corporate company, more
muted tones would be better suited to the formal environment. Black and dark
blue are the ideal business colors, grey or brown are also good options. Pair
this with a blouse or shirt in white or pastel colors. But don’t combine more
than three colors and two patterns.
Shoes: open shoes like flip-flops or sandals are a no-go for a job interview.
Footwear should be either closed toe pumps with a subtle heel or closed toe
black high heels.
Jewelry: stay away from too much jewelry such as large necklaces and
bangles, as too much clanging can cause unnecessary distraction. Be sure to
only wear subtle earrings. Your watch should be slim and just wear a wedding
band or no rings at all.
Make-up: don’t overdo the make-up, keep it conservative and natural looking
and just

Research
Gather information about the company you are applying to so you can adjust
your responses to fit that company. Researching the company and role as
much as possible will give you an edge over the competition. Not only that,
but fully preparing for an interview will help you remain calm so that you can
be at your best.

There are some jobs that may involve a test or evaluation during the interview
process. For example, if you are interviewing for a computer programming,
development or analytics role, you might also be asked to write or evaluate
lines of code. It might be helpful to consult with colleagues in the industry for
examples of tests they’ve been given to prepare.
3. Forward-looking questions
Example: Where do you see yourself five years from now? Do you plan
to continue your education?
●Your employer wants to see how driven and goal-oriented you are.
They also want to check that your expectations are realistic. In your
answer, demonstrate your awareness of industry trends and ability to
be flexible.
4. Tough questions
Example: What are your greatest weaknesses? If there’s only thing you
would like to change about your personality, what is this?
● Take the time to craft an answer that isn’t a cliché. Nothing makes a
hiring manager cringe more than the answer: “I’m a perfectionist.” This
is your opportunity to demonstrate your own self-awareness and desire
for personal development. Try to identify something that isn’t critical to
the role, and frame your answer in the positive.

POSTURE
Is a subtle indicator of how someone feels, but it’s a critical piece of the
body language puzzle.
What to do: Lean in. Position your torso so that it is leaning in slightly
towards the interviewer. This will make you appear interested in the content of
the interview and the role itself. Monkey see, monkey do. Mirroring the
interviewer’s body posture in a subtle way indicates an alignment of views, as
well as comfort and connection.
Quick Pointer:
Sit straight and tight in your chair
Have and maintain a passive eye contact
Occasionally use hand gesture to express yourself
Always wear a sincere smile
Nod your head as you’re listening
