But that is how I dress when I am settled in a role that gives me some leeway. What to wear to a video interview, though, is a completely different story. When I was interviewing for a new job? Full business-professional outfit. It was kind of hilarious to throw on a collared shirt and a blazer for an interview, then change back into regular clothes for internal calls so I would not tip anyone off to what I was up to.

But at work? I have at least ten products (remember: addict) that are almost unseen on my lips. Just enough color to match the rest of my makeup and keep my lips from looking dead, but not enough to draw any attention. No high-shine, no super glossy finish, no bright colors.

These options photograph beautifully. Styled with wide-leg trousers and a structured bag, either one looks effortless and current. But what is good for Instagram might not be good for an interview. And in this case, it definitely is not.

You are ready to start making moves toward the next part of your career, so you do what anyone would do (update your resume). You spend the time to ensure that your resume showcases measurable results you have achieved, highlights your current accolades, and can pass through ATS systems. You think you’re good to get started, right?
