Dress advice for interviews

Paul Andrew Cunningham

My daughter is about to graduate from university and is starting to attend interviews. As her dad, in his 60s, I am the least qualified person in the universe to offer advice. What advice on dress would you offer her?

  • If I could offer one piece of advice, when I was interviewing and planning on wearing a pair of tights, I would always, always ensure I had a spare pair (sometimes even two!) in my glove box. It's amazing how easily they get snagged!

    My kit bag also used to include a box of mints, a lip balm, a bottle of water and a neat note pad and pen haha! But I like to be really organised as it stops me stressing out on the wrong things rather than focussing on the interview itself.

    Also I'd say not to bother with heels that are too high - I've made that mistake before and felt like I was tottering around!
