Work Ready: The Interview

by Jamila Pierre


The first image is an outfit I put together for my ideal interview in a creative position. This to me is a balance between I'm a little bit fierce, but I have respect for your establishment, so I didn't turn it up too high on you. The second look is the outfit I wore on my job interview for, needless to say, a less creative position. It is quite conservative, neat, and clean, with a minimal amount of punch... if any. I'd much prefer going on an interview where my personality gets a chance to shine a bit, but these days you do what you must to "get er done".
