Prepare and practice for an interview. After the
date and venue has been set, allow time for enough
preparation for the big day. Remember that first
impressions do last, so the way an applicant look
really does matter. Employers could easily give the
verdict based on the manner of dressing during the
initial interview.
Better questions and service can be received if the
appearance itself commands respect. It is important
to consider the surroundings of the company granting
you an interview. There is no reason to be over
dressed or poorly dressed during this very
significant day. In fact, it is a good rule of thumb
to always dress appropriately for any situation. All
to often appearance is glossed over. Some might say
that the inner characteristics of the person matter
more, but in reality, you only have one opportunity
for a first impression. Make it count!
