Interview clothes

Is it absolutely necessary to wear heels to an interview? My feet aren’t what they used to be.

Not at all! In fact, I think this is the time when women should be encouraged to wear what they want and go kill it at the interview feeling absolutely comfortable. If I had to wear heels for interviews, I wouldn't get a single job - I would hardly be able to get out of my house, let alone get to the interview!

Regarding appropriate dress: go on Glassdoor and checkout the dress code. that will help guide you. Heels are totally up to you!

Definitely not. Practicality should win out.

Not necessary at all! In today’s world, flats, boots, kitten heels etc. are all perfectly acceptable as long as they are professional, in good condition of course and comfortable. You need to feel your best to present your best...good luck!

If a company doesn't hire you because you don't wear heels to the interview, you don't want to work for that company anyway.

Absolutely not. Kitten heel slingbacks that scream professional! Life stride and clarks have phenomenal professional flats and wedges! Go for structure, inner padding, and take the pants, dress, and or skirt u would pair them with! Trust me as a sales rep its a good sign to see clothing articles to match too! It says serious about investment!

But they should be beautiful flats, well made, of beautiful material. Your shoes are still one of the first things people check out, so invest in some really good flats! Or gorgeous boots, if you are in the right climate for them.

Definitely not, it's 2020. The important part is looking put together and intentional. Aside from that, you'll perform better if you're more comfortable. Wear flats!
