Job interview style

Background:

It is easy to gain an advantage in job interviews with clothes that fit the company culture and the right colour. This learning unit contains useful information for candidates, such as research, general application information and dress code.

Tasks:

Students watch the video with the task of identifying the sections that talk about looks and outfits for the job interview

Students together with the teacher discuss the infographic “Job interview Style” which highlight the main aspects of the dress code and settings both for traditional as well as for video job interview

Students are then divided into groups and create a document (format of their choice) surfing the internet where they list aspects of clothing appropriate or inappropriate (do’s and don’ts) with a particular attention and reflection on:

The Language of Dress
What Clothes Say
What is Style
What are the 6 Elements of Style and What Influences Business Attire How the Size of Business Affects Dress Expectations (Corporate Dress vs Conventional Dress)

Students may want to research example images to highlight the important aspects of their research

Then they present their work to the class and discuss the common aspects together.
