NEVER go barelegged for an interview. Unless you're going for a fashion house interview keep the makeup tones neutral Its always best to dress professional for interviews. Blouse, knee high skirt, pantyhose and flat shoes.
The reason being that not only is it more comfortable to wear and wait in. But it gives the impression that you're not vain and given to idle things. Also take a small bottle of perfume/antiperspirant in case you get sweaty.
For an interview wear pantyhose and if possible flats instead of heels and wear as little makeup as you need to , you want to look respectable and dress nice but its more about what you way and how you act over what you wear you should be polite , have ready answers to their questions and if you don't know way so and be confident - smile when you enter , say hi , introduce yourself and shake hands then wait to be asked before you sit down and answer their questions as best as you can , before you leave you can ask when you will here back from them.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
