As part of the 2nd Women's Week, held by the Adecco Foundation to support women victims of gender violence in their access to employment, the fashion firm Mulaya has come to our headquarters in Madrid to offer us the keys to dressing correctly for job interviews, without having to spend a lot of money.
In fact, as they have explained to us, the trick is in simplicity: “ a basic pair latvia phone number data of black trousers combined with a blouse or shirt will always be a good choice .” In addition, these are garments that we can use in our daily lives and not just in job interviews, to which, by the way, “ we should never go dressed up, since we always have to convey naturalness, to be ourselves .”
From the intervention of Carmen Torrente and Ricardo Tricio, director of e-commerce and director of image of the brand, respectively , we are left with 2 maxims: "it does not matter how much we spend on clothes: the most important thing is the attitude" and "in job interviews, less is more: going too dressed up or overloaded can turn against us."
It doesn't matter how much we spend on clothes if our style is not accompanied by the right attitude. For Mulaya's recruiters, it is essential to incorporate positive, self-confident people into their team who they can trust. "Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie can come to an interview, but if they are insecure afterwards and don't convey anything, we will never choose them" - they say.
For this reason, it is essential that we project these qualities in the first contact that the job interview provides. How?
With a smile , always.
Looking the interviewer in the eyes and shaking hands firmly and confidently.
Listening, but answering what they ask us without hesitation.
Working on the “pre-interview ” from home: rehearsing the answers to possible questions in front of the mirror.
