Advice on what to wear for job interviews
By Clotilde Soullier, Managing Editor
When it comes to job interviews, it is hard to decide what the perfect outfit is, especially for students.
It is crucial to consider the most appropriate attire when applying for a position, so we asked Lynn University students for inspiration.
Jaclyn Nicole, a 20-year-old junior at Lynn University, found it extremely difficult to settle on the perfect outfits for her job interviews. Over time, she understood that the best look is business casual.
“When I had my first job interview, I was scared and did not know what to wear. As a person would do, I searched for inspiration and picked a few things that would look good …I decided to adapt to a ‘business casual’ look, combining casual pants with a more dressed-up blazer,” said Jaclyn.
Giovanni Guaschino, a 21-year-old graduate student at Lynn University who is pursuing an MBA in Financial Valuation and Investment, changes outfits based on what he considers fitting in his prospective field.
Throughout his years at Lynn, Guaschino attended numerous job interviews. His advice to those who may need some inspiration:
“Working in the business field, I am always required to dress accordingly, especially when going to the office. My perfect clothing combination is to wear a suit, I coordinate my pants and blazer and I always wear a tie with a button-up shirt,” said Guaschino.
Guaschino, who had experience in the business world, learned a lot from his family since both of his parents work corporate professions. Observing and learning from his parents, he obtained the best of both worlds. Guaschino has mastered the dress code and has learned how to interview well.
“Thanks to my parents, I learned from an early age how to dress and act accordingly for my job interviews. Showing [up] to my job interview with the correct clothing will help me express myself fittingly,” said Guaschino.
