Help with management interview for Monday

[Pandora]

Katies...I'd say a pant suit or something close to it. Plain or pinstripe dark pants, shirt/blouse/top with a collar, plain jewellery, natural makeup.

Aparet from teh fact that its a management position, Katies is relatively conservative so yeah, I'd go with that, presentation wise. You could probaby wear a long/three quarter sleved top too if you wore a jacket, even if you took the jacket off.
Makeup, def natural colours, or pinks even depending what suits your skin tone.

You dont want to lie or exaggerate unecesarily about anything else - you havent so far, and look where it has got you.

Good luck! Being a mum too, generally indicates you have good management skills! You generally need to!

Well done!

Perhaps try an op shop if you need a new pair of slacks? Nice things often for a few dollars

Make sure your nails and shoes are clean. Always the first thing I looked at befor ehiring anyone for any position - oh and iron your clothes


Be yourself and knock em dead huni!

Well done ash and good luck. Have your resume ready with a few spare copies just incase there is more than 1 person interviewing you. Natural make up clean hair and hair off the face if possible. Neat pants/skirt and shirt will be a good start if not a dress with a jacket. make sure you nails are clean and polished in a neatral or clear clour and you shoes are clean. plus be 5 mins early.

Sure you will be fine Pm me if you want more advice or a pep talk b4 hand and let me know how it goes

Well done on getting an interview Ash!!!! i wish you lots of luck!!

i agree with the other girls, id wear black pants, a plain coloured top, hair up, natural make up.

good luck! how exciting! how far away from Canberra do you live hun?

About an hour Rach, if i get it, we'd both be working in Canberra, Anth would drive and literally go past the place. Perfect!

Are women and men's suits tailored "too" differently for me to get away with wearing a suit of DF's?? I couldn't find a suit to fit me, boobs-wise, unless i had at least a week to look. Which i don't.

I might take a photo of me in DF's suit and post it later and you guys can see how it looks?

Natural make up is simple, can do that, be just my luck to have a pimple breakout overnight tonight and look terrible though!

Alright I might have to drag DF Target wise and see what i can pull together minimally. I've been in Canberra twice this weekend and didnt even think to go into Katies. Wahhhh

Repeat after me...

"I WILL BE FINE!"

And now breathe! lol

Katies is fairly conservative, and is aimed at the 20+ market, so you don't have to try and fir into the 'teen fashion' image (which is handy, especially if you have no fashion sense... like me!).

Womans suits are geneally tailored around the waist, mostly to accentuate it, whereas mens are more straight up and down. You *MAY* get away with a mens suit, as long as it doesn't look like you're wearing a sack lol. if you are crafy you could try doing something at the back seems to make it 'fit' but I am not crafty so I don't know how that would work lol!
I would try to go for a fitted but not tight jacket (I have found Target, and Kmart, to have these for fairly good prices), with a nice button down shirt, and some pants or a skirt.

Good luck! Don't stress! If they liked your 'joke' application, then they are obviously willing to give you a go becaue you are you. Be yourself, you'll be fine hun. You are wonderful!!!
