Books have been written about her (or thinly veiled versions of her), movies and documentaries abound and though it weighs more than a newborn baby, the Vogue September Issue is still required reading for many households.So, wouldnt you want to know what the woman who can end a designers career in one look thinks you should wear to a job interview at Vogue?Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreLuckily you dont have to wonder anymore because in the new video series, Ask Anna, someone asks that very question for you (which means you dont have to be in the presence of that icy stare.) Here was her answerIts so interesting to me how pe ople dress when they come in for interviews, Wintour says in the video. Sometimes you feel theyre wearing clothes that they just bought that morning, or maybe the night before, and not something that in any way suits their personality and who they are. I think what everyone should remember, whether theyre interviewing atVogueor indeed anywhere, that were not hiring your wardrobe. Your wardrobe is not going to be doing the job for you - its who you are.But what does that mean exactly? Wintour continues, Ill always remember a young man who came in in a dress and a handbag, and I gave him the job on the spot. You have to dress for yourself. Its the same for any job you might be going for. I think it doesnt do yourself a service to fake it.So there it is. Simple as that. Dress authentically as you if you are trying to sell yourself. Of course, a job at Vogue is very different than a law or finance firm but even if you are wearing a suit or pencil skirt landsee if there is a small part you can add to it that is all you. Maybe a small accessory or pop of color.Watch the full video here for more Anna Wintour tidbits.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people
