Job interviews are a natural part of life and growing up, and they can be super nerve-wracking, understandably. Going into the interview room knowing you look the part can do wonders for your natural confidence, helping the rest of the interview to run smoothly. But when you’re fresh out of college, money can be a bit lacking, so trying to get the look can be full of hurdles. It’s a bit of a Catch-22 situation - you want the job so you can have money for nice things, but you need nice things for the interview to get the job. There are a few things you can do to look perfect for the job interview, without it costing the earth - just keep on reading to find out more.
Consider your outfit
Your outfit is the first thing to think about; everything else will stem from this. If you currently don’t have a suitable ensemble in your wardrobe, there are a few options. Firstly, do you know anyone who you can borrow something appropriate from? That is the easiest and cheapest option. If not, you could rent an outfit from renttherunway.com, or invest in your future by buying the perfect interview outfit - after all, you might need it a few times. Make sure it’s demure, appropriate for the role you’re interviewing for, and not too loud or “out there” - you want to demonstrate professionalism above all else. It needs to be comfortable too. If you’re uncomfortable in your clothes, you’ll look awkward to your interviewers too.

Don’t overdo your hair
Hair needs to be well groomed, but not overdone. Keep it natural, and if it’s appropriate to the role then tie it back or braid it. Ensure it isn’t limp, lank, or overgrown. If you need to give it a gentle trim to ensure there are no split ends, follow this guide for the best way to achieve that freshly cut look, without the price tag. Avoid using elaborate hair accessories - they can be distracting to the interviewer and don’t necessarily portray a professional image.

Choose natural makeup
You want your makeup to look natural, not overdone, but wearing a bit of makeup can show you care about your appearance in a professional manner, which can be attractive to employers. Save money on beauty products by shopping online or making the most of the sales is simple, so it’s straightforward and inexpensive to buy a few pieces of makeup to achieve the appropriate look. Make sure your nails are also clean, well shaped, and painted a neutral and inoffensive color if it is appropriate for the industry.

Smell lovely
Obviously, you don’t want to bring any horrible smells into the interview with you, but you equally don’t want to overwhelm your interviewer with strong perfume either. It needs to be subtle, so you don’t have to spend a lot on it - a drugstore brand is perfect - and it’ll be guaranteed not to offend.

Your image is a massive part of the interview process, and first impressions really count, so make the most of them. Appearing professional, clean, and well turned out is the first step on the ladder to success, and you’ll feel so good about yourself you’re guaranteed to smash the interview too.
