Your Appearance The First Key To Interview Success

Monday, February 11th, 2008 @ 9:11 am | Tips

Your appearance – What do you look like? You want to check yourself before you leave the house and again once you arrive at your destination just prior to your interview. Make sure that everything is in place and looking neat. Ladies should check their blouses to make sure that it is buttoned correctly and gentlemen should check their trousers to ensure they are sipped up all the way. You might be laughing at me for mentioning this but you will be surprised how many people forget to do this because they are nervous or rushing and suffer to consequences of not getting the job as a result.

Check your hair to ensure it is well groomed, especially if it is inclement weather and you were wearing a hat. That quick stop in the lavatory prior to the interview can be a relief in more than just the obvious way if you take the time to give yourself the once over. While you are there check your smile. Your smile will be one of the first things the interviewer sees. Ladies should check to make sure they do not have any lipstick on their teeth. Gentlemen as well as ladies should check to make sure they do not have anything stuck in between their teeth and their breath smells fresh. I recommend brushing your teeth before going to the interview and not eating anything until the interview is over. Remember, not onions or garlic meals prior to the interview. You my not be able to smell it but if your breath offends the interviewer you are guaranteed not to get the job.
