With the unemployment rates hovering at 10%, chances are a lot of you are looking for work. If you’ve been missing out on a paycheck for months, cutting corners where there are none left, and have nothing left to spend on an interview outfit, don’t fret. Ryan Kohnen gives 5 tips on how to dress appropriately for a job interview for less than $100.
Who is Ryan Kohnen? He is a 29-year-old entrepreneurial phenom who never would’ve gotten where he is today if he didn’t know how to look the part. I’ve included his top 5 ways to dress for an interview for less than $100 below.
Top 5 Ways to Dress for a Job Interview for Less Than $100
- 1) Go monochromatic. Dressing in one color is always polished and can make up for the fact that your suit isn’t Armani.
2) Develop a relationship with a tailor. Even a $20 pair of Gap dress pants are interview-worthy if they fit right.
3) Discount retailers and off-season sales are your friends. Last season’s perfectly fashionable castoffs can be yours for often one quarter of the price.
4) Separates are an option, especially in neutral colors. A navy cardigan can replace a navy jacket-especially when paired with a navy pencil skirt.
5) Limit jewelry. It can tend towards expensive or showy, and neither will do you any favors while you’re looking for work.
