In today’s job market, in which companies might interview dozens of people for one position, first impressions are more important than ever.
Interviewees must pay attention to everything from what they wear and how they are groomed to their body language.
One important, and often overlooked, aspect of an interviewee’s first impression is color. The color of your clothing sends a subconscious message to the interviewer about your personality.
Tips for Choosing the Best Color to Wear for an Interview
The right colors can help convey your confidence, professionalism and your ability to fit into an organization’s environment. Below are a few tips for choosing the right colors for your interview attire.
Choose Solids Over Patterns
An important rule of thumb is to try not to be remembered for your attire; you want to wear something that allows the interviewer to focus on your skills and qualifications rather than your wacky style. Wearing solid colors helps ensure that your clothes will not distract.
