Explore the Company’s Social Media to Find Out What to Wear to Your Interview
You want to look put together for the interview, but what you wear depends on the job and maybe even the city it is in. For a better idea of the right outfit for your interview, check out the company’s social media profiles.
It might sound smart to just dress as professionally as possible, but there is a concept called dressing up in a job interview. For example, once I was interviewing in a casual company in Los Angeles, and when I showed up in pants and a blazer, I felt awkward and out of place. This immediate awkwardness did not make much of an impression on the rest of the interview. Of course, it’s probably better to make the mistake of being overly dressed, but to get an even better idea of what to wear, Muse suggests “chasing” the company through Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn to see what their employees are wearing. write:
Unless the employees you see are dressed very formally (suits, ties, heels, you know what exercise is), you should look at what they are wearing and then take the formality up one level. This strategy ensures that you don’t look disrespectful or that you are not taking the interview seriously, while still maintaining an idea of how real employees dress every day.
Of course, it doesn’t hurt to ask either. But the answer from a recruiter or hiring manager is likely to be vague, “businesslike.” This tactic gives you a more concrete view. And in any case, before the interview, it is important to take the time to study the social profile of the company . For more details, check out the full publication at the link below.
