Dress to Impress
"Dress for Success" - Make sure that the outfit you
plan to wear is clean, all the buttons are secure. Set aside the 'power suit' that
says you are a business professional, a day prior to your interview. That would
avoid a mad scramble the day of your interview. In other words...put your best suit
on and sell yourself! There is a saying: If you already look the part, you have
more of a chance at getting the job.
"First Impressions" - As important as the clothes
you wear, is the way you present yourself - Body Language. First impressions do
make a difference. Walk into the interview office, standing straight and looking
confident. Offer a firm, dry handshake. Do not get excited. Take note of your body
posture. Sit straight, but relaxed. Your arms resting in a natural position. Fidgeting,
clasping of hands, picking nails, or figer-tappings shows your nervousness and does
not bode well in any interview. It is essential to maintain eye contact. Above all
breathe easily and don't forget to occasionally smile.
