Job Interview Series: the Admin Job

Admin is mainly for a sit-down job, but you need to make sure you stand out – but only through your personality and demeanor. Clothing needs to be professional (read: plain), tailored well but not too well, and your shoes and manicure will matter.

Whether or not you need a jacket depends on the level of admin you’re looking for, but it is good to dress conservatively – ideally with a longer skirt and a blouse, usually with at least a sweater layered over it.

You can find other clothing items on Fat Chic Clothing Search.

    Having been an admin for over 20 years now, I have to recommend wearing a suit. The job may not require a suit, but a suit says “I can dress at the height of professional if I need to”.

    As for manicures…not really. As a matter of fact, if your nails are too long, you’ll get points off in my book, because I know it’ll affect your typing and filing speed. That’s not to say not to have neat hands, but watch the nail length. It can count against you.
