Sales jobs: Looking good on a budget

People applying for sales jobs do not have to spend a fortune ahead of an interview, according to one expert who said expensive clothes will not help by themselves.

Former presenter of the Channel Four makeover show 10 Years Younger, Nicky Hambleton-Jones, said that the huge range of budget clothing stores in the market means that people going for sales jobs interviews have a plethora of inexpensive options.

She said: "There are also charity shops where you can pick up designer bargains at a very low price tag but you might even have things in your wardrobe."

The fashion guru added that clothes which are already in a candidate's wardrobe may be good enough if they are spruced up and given a new lease of life.

Hambleton-Jones' comments come after the employment website TheLadders.co.uk said that 76 per cent of British bosses would decide against a job candidate because of their clothes, after it surveyed 500 senior UK executives.
