Interview/Resume tips!

So, today I have a job interview at a high end retail boutique. I am very excited about it because I have always wanted to manage a little boutique, or even own one! And getting an outfit for a job that isnt business or casual, can be tricky if youre not familiar with dressing up to fashion. Some people are either business, or casual, and some cant ever come up with a fashionable outfit to wear that is still professional...and for this job interview I need a professional high fashion outfit! So my choice?

Black dress with bronze accents created by: Cotton Candy, $40.00
Black tights/rose printed tights: Target, $10.00
Brown/Tan/Black Waste belt: Target, $20.00
Camo/Brown pumps/Black pumps: Amiclubwear.com, $25.00
Handbag: LEAVE IN CAR :)

And ALWAYS for an interview, leave your cell phone in your car.

Resume/Interview Tips:
1. ALWAYS have your goal, what youre looking for, what youre hoping for.
2. ALWAYS add that youre EARLY to work, because when youre on time, youre late, but you have to keep up with this, you dont want to say something that you arent because they will expect it.
3. Always add if you have a clean appearance, depending on the position, your boss will like no facial piercings or visible tattoos, If you have them, cover them up, or take them out!
4. After your interview, always send flowers, or balloons...anything, because that person will be interviewing hundreds of people, make them remember you!
5. Call daily, you need to show that you WANT the job! 
6. Visit, make them remember you!
7. Never ever wear crazy make up, unless it is needed...most employers want simple, clean, presentable employees.
8. When creating your resume, attach a photo...youll be surprised at the difference it makes!
9. Always thank them for taking the time to meet you.
10. And finally, never ever be late...dont even bother going if youre going to be late.
