So you updated your resume, filled out applications, and finally got a call to interview for your dream job, how exciting! Now there is only one thing left to do: get ready for it! It is absolutely crucial to prepare accordingly for the job you want; Not only does it increase your professionalism points, but it gives employers a good impression of you. Below is my full list of how to affordably dress and prepare for interviews:

1. Go to bed early.

I know what you are probably thinking; How does this relate to dressing for an interview? Well, many reasons, actually. Getting the recommended 7-8 hours of sleep not only increases your sharpness, it also makes you look and sound more awake. You won’t have so many bags under your eyes and your eyes will be bright and attractive. Not to mention sleeping is 100% free!

2. Have an accessible accessory.

Large bags are the best thing you can have by your side during that interview. Not only are they stylish, but they are also extremely affordable. I got mine at Rue 21 for $7.00, and similar bags can be purchased at Walmart, Target, etc. By an “accessible accessory,” I mean putting that thing to use. Put your resume folders, water bottles, business cards, etc. in that! You will also look more prepared and ready for the interview, which makes a great impression on employers.

3. Bring a lint roller.

Pick up a lint roller at Dollar Tree for just $1.00, it could be a huge lifesaver! I have a labrador at home and he loves to sit on me, give me hugs and lie on me. When I kiss my dog ​​goodbye, I could end up with a lot of hair everywhere that I obviously don’t want. On the other hand, you may have washed your clothes and have lint all over your suit. Both situations are not ideal, but there are affordable solutions for you. Lint rollers will remove it all; They are literally magical! Again, only $1.00 at Dollar Tree. I’d also put this in your tote bag just in case!

4. Have a hair bow with you.

The last thing to remember at Dollar Tree, I promised. Sometimes your hair doesn’t turn out the way you want, the weather is horrible and your hair frizzes, or it’s too hot and you need to be comfortable. I carry I can have a thousand hair ties and still forget to bring one when I need it most. Fortunately, Dollar Tree always has unlimited amounts of hair ties for just $1.00. You also get an average of 30 hair ties per pack, which can come in handy for future interviews. This is a good thing to carry on your wrist or in your handbag.
