ESM-YA Catalog (Introduction and sequences)

Project ESM-YA under ERASMUS+ YOUTH Application n° 2014-2-ES02-KA205-005432 Session 3 Annex 15 Page 4 3. Flashy prints and loud colors Your hot pink or loud floral dress—even if the length falls below the knees—is a no-no. Don’t follow your peers who wear Sartorialist-inspired outfits to entry-level interviews. Although bold colors and prints are now accepted in modern business attires, keep it subtle during your interview. You want the company to think that you’re serious about your job and not peg you as a moonlighting blogger who’d rather Instagram his/her outfit of the day. 4. Halitosis and smoky breath Take a breath mint or gargle some mouthwash in the bathroom before the interview. Don’t chew gum during the interview. If you’re a smoker, avoid taking a puff before the interview. Smoke-scented hair is such a turnoff and the smell tends to stick to your breath even with a mask of Tictacs. 5. Too much perfume Get a fresh shave, keep your lips chap-free with lip balm, and wipe the grease off your face before entering the room. As for the perfume, nobody wants to die of asphyxiation, not even if it’s by Chanel Nº5. Go for a light scent. Discussing and conclusions How to carry the activity 1. The coordinator separates the group into 3x smaller groups. 2. Task for small groups: to make presentations: Things not to wear in a job interview. 3. Each team (or individuals) after discussing the ideas make their presentation.
