    pretty much the same as swoop - dark coloured suit with a skirt rather than pants. if it's warm & there's a chance you'll take off the jacket, def wear a shirt/top with sleeves. i usually wear a shirt. sheer stockings. heels. littlwe bit of makeup & definitely neat nails.

    i wear my hair out but that's because i almost always do anyway.

    of course, some of that depends on the type of role or company you're interviewing with.

    Same as the other said.

    The only thing I also do is get my hair blow dried professionally. I have long hair that always picks up a bit of frizz. I'm hopeless at doing it myself. So I always get a cheap blow wave before job interviews. I wash it myself and turn up with wet hair. It's amazing how different it looks but it also makes me feel really good which then makes me present myself in the best light.

    It all depends on the job. I tend to also wear a red jacket or dress so I stand out in the interview panel's mind, plus it shows a bit of my personality while still being "corporate". Hair I tend to put in a ponytail as well, and wrap a bit of hair around the band. Neutral makeup, nails - enough to show you're making an effort but not a fashion plate. Clean shoes & handbag - nothing worse than scuffed shoes or grubby handbag.

    Oh, and a big, confident smile. Good luck!!!!
