Now that the horror that was the pandemic is resigned to the back of our memory banks, many people are starting to look for new careers, and that means getting out and interviewing. Some companies are still conducting things online, but face-to-face interviews are slowly becoming the norm again, and this means we want to look our best, so that we can impress the hiring manager and secure the job. With this in mind, we’ve curated a list of five key products that you can use, pre-interview, to help you to look groomed and professional.

This Works Stress Check Hair Elixir

This leave-in conditioner from This Works seems almost like it was MADE for people having interviews, as not only will it condition and protect your hair, keeping it looking sleek and neat throughout the day, but it also contains a blend of neroli, patchouli and camomile which seek to eliminate feelings of stress or anxiety. The olfactory sense can be powerful, and giving yourself something which will help to ease your nerves is a huge bonus. 

HD Brows Brow Colourfix 

It’s 2023 and it seems like the trend for hyper-groomed brows is well and truly here to stay. That’s why we recommend HD Brows Brow Colourfix as the next product on our list if you want to look put-together and professional. Available in six shades, this brush-on tinted brow gel grooms and slicks brows into shape with a hint of colour without flaking or stiffening the hair. The formula is enriched with vitamin E to provide antioxidant properties and is the perfect product for adding volume and colour to brow hairs, without looking too blocky or over-the-top.

Medik8 Illuminating Eye Balm 

The last thing you want is to look tired or run-down in your interview, especially if you’ve had a sleepless night, due to nerves. Medik8 Illuminating Eye Balm is an instantly illuminating and hydrating eye balm which helps to visibly brighten and refresh tired eyes. It minimises the appearance of puffiness and dark circles by combining soothing natural extracts with sheer, light-reflecting mineral pigments in a subtle colour match tint, helping you to look wide awake and raring to go. 

Dermalogica Conditioning Body Wash

HR execs and hiring managers will tell you that wearing strong perfume to an interview is a huge no-no. Aside from being overwhelming (and potentially migraine-inducing!) if you’re in a small office, many workplaces actually ban perfumes and aftershaves now because of allergies and sensitivities. However, you want to go to your interview knowing that you smell fresh and clean, which is where this body wash from Dermalogica comes in. The silky, gently cleansing formula features aromatic oils of French rosemary and Chinese eucalyptus alongside fresh tea tree and lemon oils to awaken the senses and give you the confidence of knowing you still smell good, even without the eau de toilette.

Orly Breathable Nourishing Nude

Imagine the scene – you reach out to shake your prospective new employer’s hand, and your nails look ragged and tatty with peeled-off polish. What a nightmare! Having neat, manicured nails which are painted in a neutral or nude shade, such as this one from Orly, is the best way to make sure your hands look tidy and groomed. Having nice nails can also help you to feel more confident and professional, which will hopefully help you to secure the job.

Stressed?

Over worked and under paid?

Tired?

Anxious?

Far from being words that are banded around for the sake of it, for many of us this is the reality of 21st century living.

We are expected to be on the ball, on trend and down with the kids 24/7 and sometimes, things can get a bit too much.

We have put together some easy ideas of how to free your mind so you can relax and chill out once in a while rather than constantly having your brain in free fall mode.

Breath
Before you do anything else, sit back, count to ten and breath. Focus on your breathing, feel the air go into your body and out and just stop for a few minutes and regroup.

Talk
After breathing, comes talking. If you bottle everything up, then it is only going to get worse and seem harder and harder to deal with. Open up to your partner, mum or a close friend and they may have ideas about how you can make changes and find a positive way forwards.

Live in the moment
Whatever is making you anxious right now, isn’t going to last. Breakdown what is bothering you into manageable chunks and tackle it one step at a time. For example, if you are moving house you might feel overwhelmed, but step back, make a list, work out what needs to be done and if you can, delegate.

Not this again
If you are worried about an interview, think back and see if was the same the last time you went for a new job? If it was, and you got the job, what are you worried about? You aced it last time and we bet it will be the same the time round too.

It’s not all about you!
Harsh we know, but not everything that happens in this world is about you. Yes we can all feel put upon or have our sensitive days, but thinking every situation revolves around you in some way can be really destructive and you could be missing out on a lot of fun.

Look at the bigger picture
Ask yourself whether the issue that is on your mind right now will still be there tomorrow, in a week or in a month. It is unlikely it will be, so regroup, relax and look at what is going on in the world and see there is more to life than a difficult boss or messy flatmate.

Preparing for the worst
I will lose my job. He is going to dump me. She doesn’t want to be my best friend anymore. We tend to jump to conclusions and dwell on the worst-case scenarios and this can lead to stress and depression. It is far better to talk to the person involved face to face and find out what is really going on before you make yourself ill believing the world is about to end.

Take some exercise
Social media, long hours and desk based jobs mean many of us get less exercise than ever. Try to get some fresh air every day and even if you have a brisk walk or a quick swim, your heart beat will go up and the endorphins will pump good vibes around your body.

Laugh
If nothing else, remember to laugh. Life is short so make the most of it and enjoy every single day you have.
