Come vestirsi per un colloquio

La prima impressione che si fa un potenziale datore di lavoro è la più importante . Il primo giuduizio di un selezionatore sarà basato essenzialmente sul modo in cui si appare e ciò che si indossa. Ecco perché è sempre importante vestire professionalmente per un colloquio di lavoro, anche se l'ambiente di lavoro è informale. Il candidato vestito di un abito e cravatta farà una impressione migliore rispetto al candidato vestito in jeans e t-shirt.

Prima ancora di pensare di andare a un colloquio, quindi, ci si assicuri di avere un abbigliamento adeguato per l'intervista di selezione e tutto vesta bene.

Ricorda inoltre di:
1. Preparare gli abiti che indosserai la sera prima, così da non dover perdere tempo il giorno del colloquio.
2. Lucidare le scarpe.
3. Portare con te una mentina ed usarla prima di entrare nel palazzo.

How to dress for an interview
The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first judgment an interviewer makes is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing. That's why it's always important to dress professionally for a job interview, even if the work environment is casual. The candidate dressed in a suit and tie is going to make a much better impression than the candidate dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.
Before you even think about going on an interview, make sure you have appropriate interview attire and everything fits correctly.

1. Get your clothes ready the night before, so you don't have to spend time getting them ready on the day of the interview.
2. Polish your shoes.
3. Bring a breath mint and use it before you enter the building.

How to look for a job in UK

How to find a job

The UK has a strong job market with +600,000 job vacancies and employment levels of over 74%. Job vacancies are easy to find and the labour market is flexible and dynamic. This means that there is less worry about job security because you can change job fairly easily. Employers tend to be more interested in your motivation, experience and language competence than they are about your level of education and formal qualifications.

All vacancies advertised by the UK public employment services are available on the European Job Mobility Portal. An EU flag symbol denotes vacancies from employers who are interested in applications from elsewhere in Europe. If you are looking for specialist posts or jobs that do not appear on the portal, try searching the Internet for organisations that represent a particular industry or employment sector. In the UK most recruitment advertising is done through the national and local press, company websites, private and public employment agencies and at careers and jobs fairs.
