Brush Up on Your Job Interview Skills and Ace The Interview



Recommended Answer:
Maybe you could go to a thrift store or Goodwills or something and try to buy decent looking clothes...if not then just try to look your best and do with what you have. Image is important but attitude and personality are even more valuable in employees, especially if you're working as a cashier and face people. I'm sure you'll do fine and good luck! ^.^

Don't Blow Your Job Interview


  • Are you a girl or a boy?
    If your a girl:
    I nice button up sweater with a plain shirt under and either dress pants or a nice skirt
    (for the tops and pants try to stay away from patterns)

    If your a boy:
    A nice dress shirt (Blue or white) And some dress pants
    (If you wanna make it more casual roll up the sleeves just to the forearms on the shirt)

    With either of these outfits an alternate pretty casual option for pants is a nice clean pair of jeans
    Also you can get these clothes at the local thrift store or borrow some from a good friend (maybe the one your using internet from?)

  • For a job like this, khaki pants, black shoes (be sure to shine them) and a white short sleeve button down collared shirt should be quite appropriate. You can get all that at a thrift store for less than $20. If you don't have the money then borrow it because if you go to the interview looking tacky you will not be hired. You never get a second chance at a first impression.
    Also, you may even get the clothes for free if you check with your local charities. There are many organizations that collect clothes expressly for the purpose of providing decent clothing to people for job interviews. One of them is the Urban League but there are several others.

  • Check out your local goodwill store or salvation army store. They usually have some cheap nice clothes.

    you should definitely wear at least business casual. Nice slacks and a tucked in buttoned shirt with a collar if you're a guy.

  • if you got money for a computer and internet connection i'm sure you have money for clothing,

  • A nice collared shirt and Black pants with nice looking shoes

  • just borrow nice clothes from a friend :)

  • go to the goodwill, get a nice pair of slacks and a nice blouse, low heels, done

  • Hit the local resale shop. You'll find something worth wearing for cheap.

  • Khakis and a Polo

  • a cowboy hat and a g-string, what else?
