Job Interview Questions: Is it okay to have painted nails for a job interview?

I have an interview tomorrow at a trendy clothing store. I've heard that it's considered unprofessional to go to an interview with painted nails, but do you think this is an exception? Or is this standard completely old-fashioned? If I went with painted nails, they would probably be a dark purple color. Also, if you have any advice as to anything else that I should do to prepare for my interview, please feel free to include suggestions.

HOW to Answer Job Interview Questions

Recommended Answer:
For a fashion job I'd say yes to polish, no to purple. You want to look professional and you want to look good. The person doing the interview is going to decide whether you're someone that they would want to buy clothing from as well as if you look like you're someone who should be making fashion suggestions. Keep it simple, keep it clean, don't try to make a fashion statement.
If possible make sure you know as much as you can about the lines the store carries.
Smile like you're finally home.
Best of luck!

Types of Job Interview Questions

• If it were me, and I wanted some polish on my nails, I would go with a pale pastel shade or something neutral. Once you get hired, (good luck with the interview) you can see what the others wear and conform with them.


• it's a TRENDY clothing store. So, I don't think anything is wrong with that. As long as its not a loud color where its distracting the interviewer. dark purple is fine.


• yes it is sooooooo okay you wany to look yor best
