So...I just got an interview with an advertising agency. I'm pretty excited/nervous, but by Wednesday I have to figure out a) what to wear (she said to dress professional) and b) my resume. I HATE typing out my resume because it just makes me feel extremely inexperienced.

Some suggestions, esp. on what to wear??

do you own any suits? about knee length or a few inches shorter? go without the blazer for summer. hose are important for a polished look, nude.

wear your hair up, or part-way up. light on eyeliner, no gloss. just foundation, upper liner, base-colored shadow, and a neutral lipstick. (neutral... similar to your own color.)

solid colors, if you dont have a suit. if you opt for pants, make sure they arent too tight to avoid the "teen" look. we look young enough as it is!

what about a lt pink/black skirt and black top?

pink and black is a little 2003. it might look dated. im not sure what kind of advertising company it is, but they might notice things like that. black and another color would be good though, like green to convey a vibrancy... yellow for freshness, blue for suave...

you know, it's all psychology. you pick your own packaging.

skirt is very similar to this, but with thicker lace:
