Of course what you say during a job interview matters much more than what you're wearing that day, but it doesn't dim the importance of how you present yourself.
An unworthy outfit would certainly affect the perception interviewers would create around you, so what you choose requires care. There are some rules that no one will tell you out loud, but you have to follow them as you get ready for the first presentation with the potential workplace.
Rule No.1: When you have doubts about the company's dress code, take a look at their social networks or ask recruiters directly.
Seeing how staff dress can create a general idea of how you should present yourself.
Rule No. 2: Don't show up in pajamas or thick sweaters if you're conducting the interview online.
We understand you're home, but take the virtual meeting seriously enough. A shirt would be a safe choice.
Rule No. 3: The outfit shows how seriously you're taking the interview
If you dress simply, they will assume that you have made the minimum of effort and that you are not enthusiastic about the opportunity given to you: work in their company. When we say ordinary clothing we mean crop top, simple t-shirt, etc. A jacket could change the perception.
Rule No.4: Better more serious than extravagant
Avoid short skirts, t-shirts with bellies outside, wrinkle shirts, or very tight pants. Wear something safe and professional.
Rule No. 5: If the company's dress rules bother you, it's a sign that maybe the workplace is not the right one for you.
This is because the company's environment and culture is very important to everyone before starting a new job. Everyone should initially feel good about themselves to give the maximum productivity afterwards.
