Also, if you’re a woman, keep your make-up simple: no bright blue eye shadow, no bright red lipstick, no glittery powders. Your make-up should be professional, understated. Hair should also be professional: you’re not going out on a date, but to an interview. And older ladies, if you’re going (or have gone) grey, consider getting your hair tinted – I did!
