How To Dress For A Job Interview





You are destined to participate in the interview process! Interviewing is a skill that you will use forever in your career, no matter which side of the desk you are on!!

The interview is, without a doubt, the time to make the very best possible impression you can make. This is a situation that calls for a serious business outfit. You, of course, want to be perceived as “serious” about the job, the company and the work you will be doing. You may be applying for a “casual dress” job, but the interview is always dress up!

You will be trying to convince the person interviewing you that with your serious, conservative clothing – you are the type of person who will fit in at the company, will not “rock the boat”, or call unnecessary attention to yourself (a team player). That’s the reason for conservative clothes and a reason to avoid fashion statements. Clothing is an expression of your respect and consideration for the situation.

Candidates who ignore the importance of “Dressing to Impress” cannot be serious about the job in the minds of most interviewers. Interviewers expect interviewees to look a certain way so disappointing them at first sight is the “kiss of death”.

You will need to look “right” to a stranger who is making an important evaluation of you within 30 seconds of meeting you. And since 90% of you is covered by clothing (hide those tattoos!) the clothing choices you make can have a significant impact, but can be used to your advantage.

Most recruiters or personnel executives realize if you’re just starting your career you are on a limited clothing budget, but they will expect clean, appropriate clothing that fits with the style of the company where you are interviewing.

In this competitive age, average doesn’t get you anywhere. To be successful you have to look the part. Don’t kid yourself that having a good degree, innovative ideas, enthusiasm, motivation and a great personality doesn’t mean that an appropriate appearance is of secondary importance. If you did not have the first qualities you would not have been invited to interview with the rest of the candidates.

My visit to Basistha Temple

Basistha or Vasistha Temple is located in Beltola, at the outskirts of the Guwahati city. It is located near Garbhanga Reserve Forest which is populated by elephants and is also a proposed butterfly reserve. The temple was constructed by Ahom king Rajeshwar Singha in 1751-1769. The king also gifted 835 bighas of land to the ashram to build this temple. The temple is situated on the Vasistha ashram, the abode of saint Basistha. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

A city known as the Venice of the East, Udaipur is famous for its lakes, palaces, forts and romantic viewpoints. This dreamy destination has been the backdrop of many famous movies including James Bond’s Octopussy. The main Lake of Udaipur is called Lake Pichola which is surrounded by heritage hotels (havelis) and restaurants that offer spectacular views. When in Udaipur, we highly recommend booking a room that overlooks the lake and the city’s blue and white landscape. UDAIPUR CITY PALACE The City Palace towers over the Pichola Lake. The balconies, cupolas and towers of the palace give a wonderful view of the lake and the surrounding city.
