It is no secret that how you look has everything to do
with the first impression you make. A first impression is
made in the first 27 seconds. If you are too formal in your
appearance, you might give the impression of being rigid
and stuffy. If you are too casual, you may send the signal
that you do not take the interviewing process with that
corporation or the job they offer very seriously. At A Plus
Career and Resume we will help you with every step of the
interviewing process.
The first step of the interviewing process is most definitely
your appearance. Look clean and neat and make sure that
your hair appropriately styled. A good interviewing process
practice is to refrain from wearing a perfume or cologne,
as many people are allergic. Bathing with good quality bath
soaps will leave a light scent. Make certain your apparel
is clean and pressed.
Another aspect of the interviewing process includes your
body language. Anyone can increase their professional appearance
to others if they maintain good eye contact, act upbeat,
dress capably (with a dash of color to their wardrobe),
and listen well. The magnitude of posture and bearing is
all-important. We suggest that for one week you stand straight,
tuck in your stomach, hold your head high, and smile at
those you meet. Note how you will begin to be treated with
more warmth and respect and start attracting more people
to you. Simple little changes like this will make the interviewing
process flow more smoothly.
