I've Got Nothing To Wear!

Yes you do.! You have a whole wardrobe of stuff that you've worn to work for ever. It's good and it's comfortable - so stick with it. New clothes are lovely to have - but they're not familiar - and familiar and comfortable is what you need when you have do have to do something 'scary' like going to an interview.

And the last thing you need is new shoes.

I have to say that I love shoes. I've bought ridiculous shoes with four inch heels in silly colours at silly prices (and worn them in some very silly places!) and I've bought plain black flats for interviews. They all pinched. Take my advice - polish your old ones.

If you're really worried about what to wear to an interview - stand about outside the building the morning before your interview, take a look at what everyone else is wearing, and take your cue from that. Normally you'll find that it's plain, dark and discreet. No flashy ties. No big chain jewellery. No pale green shoes with four inch heels. And certainly no skirts split all the way to anybody's bum. In other words - business as usual.

Confidence comes from inside you, not from new, unfamiliar and (usually!) uncomfortable clothing. Worrying about what to wear is wasted energy. Concentrate on what you need to say instead.
