How to prepare financially for interviews
BusinessSo you updated your resume, filled out applications, and finally got a call to interview for your dream job, how exciting! Now there is only one thing left to do: get ready for it! It is absolutely crucial to prepare accordingly for the job you want; Not only does it increase your professionalism points, but it gives employers a good impression of you. Below is my complete list of how to dress and prepare for interviews affordably:
1. Go to bed early.
I know what you are probably thinking; How does this relate to dressing for an interview? Well, many reasons, actually. Getting the recommended 7-8 hours of sleep not only increases your sharpness, but also makes you look and sound more awake. You will not have so many bags under the eyes and your eyes will be bright and attractive. Not to mention that sleeping is 100% free!
2. Have an accessible accessory.
Big bags are the best thing to have by your side during that interview. Not only are they stylish, but they are also extremely affordable. I got mine at Rue 21 for $7.00, and similar bags can be found at Walmart, Target, etc. By an “accessible accessory,” I mean putting that thing to use. Place your resume folders, water bottles, business cards, etc. in that! You’ll also look more poised and interview-ready, which makes a great impression on employers.
3. Bring a lint roller.
Buy a lint roller at Dollar Tree for just $1.00, it could be a great life saver! I have a Labrador at home and he loves to sit on me, give me cuddles and lie on me. When I kiss my dog goodbye, I could end up with a lot of fur all over the place that I obviously don’t want. On the other hand, you may have washed your clothes and have lint all over the suit. Both situations are not ideal, but there are affordable solutions for you. Lint rollers will get it all off; They are literally magical! Again, only $1.00 at Dollar Tree. I would also put this in your tote bag just in case!
4. Have a hair bow with you.
The last thing to remember in Dollar Tree, I promised. Sometimes your hair doesn’t come out the way you want it to, the weather is horrible and your hair gets frizzy, or it’s really hot and you need to be comfortable. I carry I can have a thousand hair ties and still forget to bring one when I need it most. Fortunately, Dollar Tree always has unlimited amounts of hair ties for just $1.00. You also get an average of 30 hair ties per package, which can come in handy for future interviews. This is a nice thing to wear on your wrist or in your handbag.
