Dressing the part can help with sales jobs

Applicants going for sales jobs should ensure they are wearing the correct attire as interview fashion faux-pas are plentiful, according to one expert.

Ann Israel, who has worked in recruitment for more than 30 years, told Law.com that every little counts at the interview stage especially what candidates wear.

She told the website that: "The job market is so tight right now that the slightest mistake really makes a difference. You want to make certain that you are at your very best on an interview, in every possible way. And that does come down to that first impression."

People applying for sales jobs should avoid dosing themselves in too much perfume or aftershave, according to the recruitment specialist, who said a skirted suit is the best thing to wear for interviews.

Celebrity hairstylist Wendy Iles recently said that choosing the correct hairstyle is important for people wanting to impress at sales jobs interviews.
