Interview Tips for Men: What’s in Your Wallet?
Share
My male clients often ask me questions about appropriate interview dress. Most know to wear a suit and tie and polish their shoes. But I recently read a great post by Ann Lindsay of Style of Success, an image consulting firm specializing in men, titled What Does Your Wallet Say About You? If you think about it, your wallet is a huge part of your interview attire.You may need to pull it out during the interview so you can give out your business card or accept cards from others. So what does your wallet say about you?



According to Lindsay, the wallet is often the weak link in a man’s professional interview attire. A worn, overstuffed wallet says:



1. I’m not organized.

2. Details don’t matter.

3. I don’t care that the lines of my clothing are being distorted.

4. I put myself last.



Yikes! Certainly not the impression you want to convey during an interview. You can read the full post here for advice on how to select a great wallet and keep it neat and organized.
