Pre-Interview grooming tips for women

If you have an interview scheduled you want to look your best.  Being well groomed will help you to feel confident and project a professional image.  Follow these grooming tips.

Perfume
Skip the perfume. Many people find it annoying or are allergic.  A lightly scented hand lotion is acceptable for your hands. You want to have nice hands for that hand shake.

Hair
Get a trim and have any color touched up.  Color should be natural looking. No white streaks, or pastel colors.  If hair is longer than shoulder length, wear it up in a braid, French twist or chignon. It goes without saying your hair should be clean and of a conservative style.  The exception would be in the arts and entertainment business. More artistic styles and colors are acceptable in these professions.

Make-up
Think natural and neutral.  Use a light hand with makeup.  Watch anchorwomen on TV. Even though they wear makeup for the cameras it looks, natural.  Ask a make up artist to help you if you are uncertain. Ask for an “executive” look. A good artist used to preparing clients for photo’s will know the right make up to use.   Stay away from bright colors for lipstick also and be sure to blot your lips well.  Make sure foundation is well blended, including the neck area.

Nails

Leave the long fake nails at home.  You don’t want to look like you are going to be afraid to break a nail. Again use a neutral or sheer color of the nails.

These tips will help you look your most professional. The rest is up to you!
