Else Lindroos' advice for the job interview

Else Lindroos (to the right in picture above) gets all kinds of requests from customers. They need clothes for work, parties, religious holidays and summer breaks. 

Often people come to the fashion advisor because they have a job interview coming up and need to make a good first impression – which you only get one shot at.

Dressing up in black and white is a bit boring, says Else Lindroos. For a job interview, you should dress the way they dress at the workplace you are applying to work at. The fashion advisors can help you check the dress code for that particular company. This makes it easier to pick the right outfit in order to both stand out and to be remembered while also achieving a harmonic whole.

A successful choice of clothes for the job interview will leave an impression that the job seeker does not need to think too much about what they are wearing. Feeling comfortable with what you are wearing helps you concentrate during the interview. 

Else Lindroos does not always get to hear how it went, but quite a few customers do let her know. Or they tell her later when they come back to look for more clothes.

Rules on working from home

The national recommendation for working from home in Finland has covered employees in both the private and public sectors, in places where the type of job has made it possible. People must keep their distance in workplaces and on public transport as long as the vaccination percentage is below 70%, and until we see the results of various restrictions measures.
