WATCH YOUR CLOTHES !
As reported in Daily Mail ( Aug.2010 ), here are findings of a survey of 2,000 employers, commissioned by TK Maxx ( a clothing store ) :
· 65 % claim, clothing could be the deciding factor if two candidates are neck and neck in other areas
· For women, being dressed in a tight top or showing cleavage can nix chances at the job interview
· Wearing a black bra underneath a white top is the next biggest dress-code mistake
· When men turn up in a badly ironed shirt or a high-waist trousers, they are bound to ruin their chances of getting a job
Kieran How of Eden Brown ( a recruitment firm ) says :
“ Job interviews are not the place to try fancy dress or to show off your most revealing party clothes “.
Unemployed should never forget that recruiters have a positive bias for candidates who dress like them !
