What to wear for a job interview seems like a simple decision, yet so many people get it wrong. It is important that you see what the interviewer sees and it is always better to be slightly overdressed than to be to casual.

When a man goes on a job interview he should always thing about wearing a 2 or 3 piece suit. Do not wear a sports jacket or a blazer. It is best if the suit is in a basic color such as black, navy, brown and gray. It should be pressed and should fit well, your shirt needs to be in a light pastel or a white color and fine stripes are acceptable. Your shirt should also be clean, crisp and well ironed. A tie that is tasteful is a great idea as well so keep in mind that your tie is a window into your personality. Nice shoes with the appropriate color socks are a must and the most important thing is not to forget to get your shoes shined. A fresh hair cut and a clean shaven face is essential. The last thing that you want the interviewer to think is, “What a Slob.”

The job interview was a success and now it comes down to the final process before the employer decides on hiring you; the employment reference check. It is important to be prepared since strong job references can sometimes be a deciding factor in getting a job offer or being passed over for another shortlisted candidate. Remember, the employer is making a big decision in hiring you, and wants to be sure you are who you say you are.

Here are some keys to providing successful job references:

Forget the letter: Employers have no interest in reading an informal reference letter written in the past. Letters do not have credibility, since anyone can write them for you. Employers want to be able to contact and communicate with a real person who can speak about your strengths and weakness and fit for the job you are seeking via the phone.

Leave references off your resume: References should be on a separate sheet and not on your resume. Never give references to employers until they are requested. Be sure to keep a list of at least 3-5 updated references with you when attending the job interview so that you can be prepared to present them to the employer if requested. Adding the line “References available upon request” at the bottom of your resume is a good way to let potential employers know that you have a ready list of references.
