Colors To Avoid To Land The Job You Want

Orange may be the new black but not if you are looking for work. Summer break is nearly over and the college kid who got the job you wanted is heading back to school.  Time to dust off the resume, put on your best suit and head out to make things happen.  Experts say your chance of success can be improved if you don’t wear one of these three colors to a job interview!

   1. Orange.  BEN PARR, author of Captivology: The Science of Capturing People’s Attention, a book on the science and psychology of attention and how to capture the attention of others says this hue has the lowest correlation with confidence and one-quarter of employers associate the color with someone who is unprofessional.

2. Red. Experts says unless you're fighting crime or going on a first date, red is a no-no. Strong colors evoke strong feelings, which can be bad news to job seekers.
3. Brown. Think it's a safe bet? You're right --but too safe for the high-paced, tech-friendly world out there. Instead, go with navy that shows you're strong and independent.

Be confident, be friendly and good luck!
