你離offer只差一個好形象

Even if you're going for a job in fashion, it's best not to turn up in the latest Stella McCartney dress and a bright pink crocodile Hermes Birkin fresh from Net-a-Porter.

即便你應聘的是時尚行業的工作，最好也不要穿着從Net-a-Porter網站購買的Stella McCartney最新款禮服，揹着亮粉色的愛馬仕鱷魚皮鉑金包。

You don't want to appear too try-hard or flashy. Besides which, your interviewer may have a very different opinion of a designer than you do. I'm no fan of Moschino for example, but I adore Ralph Lauren.

你也不想看起來用力過猛或者過於浮誇吧。此外，面試官可能和你的時尚品味完全不同。比如，我不喜歡Moschino，但我愛拉爾夫?勞倫。

NO BROWN, RED OR ORANGE

避免棕色、紅色或橙色

Color has a big psychological impact on people, and that's brought into sharp focus in job interviews.

顏色對人的心理有很大影響，因此，在求職面試中顏色是非常惹眼的。

Studies have shown that wearing brown clothes gives the idea that you're old-fashioned and passive, and you won't be a forward-thinking, dynamic employee, whereas red has been shown to convey that you're too assertive or even rebellious.

研究表明，穿棕色衣服會給人一種守舊、消極的印象，讓人認爲你不是一個思維敏捷、富有幹勁的員工。而紅色傳遞的信息則是你過於自信，甚至是叛逆。

It's too powerful and people – women in particular – often feel threatened by other women who wear red.

紅色的氣場太強大了，穿紅色衣服的人，尤其是女性，往往會讓其他女性感受到威脅。

Orange meanwhile has been found to be the worst color to wear, as hiring managers feel it's unprofessional.

此外，橙色也被視爲一種最糟糕的選擇，因爲它會讓招聘經理覺得你不專業。

However, navy blue is often the best choice, as it inspires confidence. It's also less imposing than black, and gives the message that you're a friendly person.

而藏藍色通常是最佳選擇，因爲它能激發自信，也不會像黑色那麼強勢，而且讓人覺得你很友好。

NO VISIBLE TATTOOS

沒有明顯的紋身

Be on the safe side and cover up any tattoos.

安全起見，遮蓋住所有紋身。

Research undertaken by St Andrews University suggests that the majority of employers feel tattoos are taboo and that 'ultimately, it does not matter what they think of tattoos. What really matters, instead, is how customers might perceive employees with visible tattoos.'

聖安德魯斯大學的研究表明，大多數僱主認爲紋身是禁忌，“這和他們對紋身的看法無關，真正重要的是顧客如何看待有明顯紋身的員工。”

SKIP THE ON-TREND MANICURE

不要做時髦的美甲

Just keep to a plain and simple manicure. This summer's trend for ladylike neutrals in rose pink is one current fashion that's acceptable.

美甲的款式要簡單幹淨。今夏流行的淑女中性色玫瑰粉是可以接受的時髦美甲。

Definitely don't go in with chipped varnish. It sends a message that you're sloppy when it comes to the details and possibly that your time-keeping skills are going to be terrible if you couldn't even find the time to do your nails beforehand.

絕對不要戴着掉漆的美甲去面試。這暗示着你在細節方面很粗心，而且你的時間管理能力可能也很差，因爲你甚至無法提前安排好做指甲的時間。

AVOID HEELS IF YOU DON'T USUALLY WEAR THEM

如果平時不穿高跟鞋，就不要穿了

If you can walk easily in high heels and they're going to make you feel good, then go for it – feeling confident is vital for job interview success.

如果你穿高跟鞋走路如履平地，而且喜歡穿的話那就穿吧——自信是面試成功的關鍵。

But if you can't comfortably walk in them, you're going to give totally the wrong impression when you wobble into the room. It's far better to wear smart flats.

但是如果穿高跟鞋走路讓你不舒服，那麼當你搖搖晃晃走進去的時候，留下的完全都是壞印象。穿時髦的平底鞋要好得多。

NO STATEMENT EARRINGS OR ALTERNATIVE PIERCINGS

不要戴個性的耳飾或者人體穿刺飾品

Again, avoid anything potentially distracting. Keep jewelry to a minimum – maybe a single statement necklace with stud earrings.

再強調一下，不要穿戴任何可能引起注意的東西。儘量精簡首飾，或許可以選擇一條別緻的項鍊搭配耳釘。

Remove any alternative piercings that aren't in your ears.

不要戴任何穿刺飾品，耳朵上也不要。
