Clothes and Shoes

Do ensure that your shoes are shined and cleaned. Your clothing should be neatly pressed. This seem obvious, but it’s important to point out: Clothing should be free of odors and stains. Don’t wear clothes that are ill-fitting or shoes that are difficult to walk in. You want to concentrate on the interview, not on how uncomfortable you feel.

What colors say about you?

Blue : conveys a feeling of calm, trust and confidence. Darker blues convey authority. Grey: is powerful, but is not as domineering as black suit or dress. Black – Conveys a lot of power, authority. This is a good color for a job in a conservative environment like a law office. However, black can make you appear unapproachable. Using black for a tie can give you that sense of authority without being overwhelming. Red: is a bright, powerful color that conveys energy and passion. A pop of red (for example, in a scarf or tie) can convey just the right amount of passion without making you appear too emotional.

Beige – Gives an image of neutrality and respect.

White – Conveys truth, simplicity.

Nails

Do prepare your hands and nails for the all-important handshake. Make sure your nails are clean and tidy. Apply some hand cream for added softness.

Hair

Do pay a little extra attention to your hair. Make sure that it is neatly combed and brushed away from your face. Men may want to get a haircut a day or two before the interview. Don’t wear your hair wet to an interview — even if you tie it back. This may give the impression that you were in a hurry or didn’t take time to properly prepare.

Skin Care

Wash your face and use a gentle scrub to exfoliate skin before the interview. Don’t use these products untested right before an interview. Try them in advance to make sure they don’t cause irritation or redness.

Makeup

Do wear makeup that is light and professional (if you typically wear makeup). Stick to daytime-appropriate, understated makeup that highlights your features. Choose a neutral or rose lip color and neutral eyeshadows in taupe and brown shades. Go with blushes that are subtle and bring out a healthy glow, such as peach and coral shades. Apply lip balm or a moisturizing lipstick. Lips should look healthy and moisturized, with a matte finish or slight sheen. Don’t choose bold makeup in unconventional colors. Avoid using highlighter or any metallic makeup products, such as eyeshadow or lipstick with metallic hues. Although these products can look fun and beautiful, they’re best saved for evening or a more casual setting.

Personal Scent

Do brush and floss your teeth to ensure you have fresh breath. Shower and use deodorant, but use products with little or no fragrance. Don’t use heavy perfumes or colognes. Some people are very sensitive to fragrance, so your risk irritating your interviewer. If you smoke, don’t do it before the interview. Don’t chew gum or mints during the interview.

What to do if you are being groomed?

A good friend will listen to you and may help you speak to an adult. Think about reporting it to the police. If the grooming has taken place online, you should also report what's happened to the website or forum where you met and chatted to the person who groomed you.

victimsupport.org.uk - Grooming - Victim Support

Sometimes it starts by a person trying really hard to be nice to you, giving you more and more attention or buying you gifts to make you like them. When they have gained your trust and you start to depend on them, they find ways to turn the relationship into something more sexual – abusing your trust and taking advantage of you. You may not realise that this is what’s happening to you, as the abuser will try to use many different ways to take advantage of you, including saying that they are your boyfriend or girlfriend. Grooming also happens online. ‘Groomers’ might try to make friends with you on social media or other sites. They often use chat rooms pretending to be someone else – maybe someone younger, older, a different gender or different sexuality. They often use profile pictures of someone else to hide their identity, and talk to you like they are a similar age to you when they are not. Even if they do not try to meet with you, the person trying to groom you may encourage you to visit pornographic websites, talk to you about sexual experiences, or ask you to send them pictures or switch on your webcam and do things that you may feel uncomfortable about. All of these things may be forms of sexual abuse. It’s important to think carefully about who you talk to, and especially about what personal details you share. Being groomed affects many young people who often ask ‘why is this happening to me?’, so it’s important to remember that this is not your fault, and to know that you can get help.
