FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS…
WHAT DO I WEAR ON A JOB INTERVIEW?
This is a anxiety-inducing question for many, but yet the answer is so simple. You need to dress as if you actually HAVE that job. So, if you are interviewing for a brand, dress in the spirit of that brand. The person sitting across from you needs to be able to picture you in that role. So make it easy. They say never judge a book by its cover, but we all know the cover counts. Make sure your outfit works for you, not against you.
DO I HAVE TO MAJOR IN FASHION OR COMMUNICATIONS TO GET A JOB IN PR?
