You’ve prepared for all the possible
interview questions – what’s your spirit animal, who’s your role model, where
do you see yourself in 5 years – and the list goes on. You’re all set to go.
Except, you can’t look like you just rolled out of bed.
First
impressions are made within 7 seconds.
Before you
get a chance to show how well you’ve prepared for the interview, your behaviour
and external outlook have already had a hand in determining if you’re friendly,
calm, confident or composed (or none of the above).
Hair
Keep it neat and simple. There’s no need to
do a waterfall braid or a side-combed bun to impress the interviewer.
A tip to remember is to make sure that your fine baby-hairs are tucked away with a bobby pin or gel because they tend to get in the way. A clean look expresses confidence and professionalism. If you have a nervous tic of fiddling with your hair, you should probably tie it up. Run your hair with some hair oil and comb it through to finish off that pony-tail, half-pony or just your usual hairstyle.

Make
up
Again, keep it simple. The key here is to
look natural. Neat and drawn eyebrows will help in defining your face while
eyeliner and a dash of mascara can help you look more energetic and attentive. If you must put on eyeshadows, keep them to a neutral shade. Also, remember your blush to give yourself a rosy, healthy look. When in doubt, always choose something more natural
and low-key.

Nails
It’s the small details that count and we
often overlook the condition of our nails. You will probably have to shake
hands, pass some paperwork and so on which would expose your hands and nails.
There’s no need for a gel manicure or fancy artwork on those nails for sure. If
you would like to get your nails done, a simple one coloured or two-toned paint
job or French manicure would do. If you have no time for that but would still
like to dress up your nails, try out INNI nail wraps for a quick and simple
solution.

The idea is to keep yourself looking fresh
and ready to tackle challenges. This is to direct the attention of your
interviewers towards your substance and content. Have them concentrate on why you're the perfect fit for the job instead of them wondering
about why you’ve put on a purple eyeshadow, why your hair is in a twisted French
braid or why your nails are in such multi-coloured or chewed off. Ensuring your hair, make-up and nails are prepped and neat helps to make you feel more confident and sure of yourself. Now with all that out of the way, it is time to make those interviewers feel the same way about you!
