 In Interview Tips, Student and Graduate Tips

Dressing for an important job interview is pretty daunting. It’s all about finding the perfect balance… too smart you’ll risk looking stuffy and corporate, too causal you might not be taken seriously. Making a good impression is vital, so scroll down for six interview essential items that’ll ensure you land your dream role. 

1. A Midi Heel

Heels that are too high and impossible to walk in are only going to make you more nervous and uncomfortable when heading to your interview. So play it safe in some stylish midi-heels. These suede mules are so on trend and will look great with practically everything.

2. A Silk Shirt
