They may evaluate a candidate on the basis of breadth, status, conformity to group norms, power, and the ability to control the situation. The one to two-page resume that works well in the U.S. is not necessarily well received in other cultures which place higher value on the length and weight of resumes. A ten page resume, for example, may be preferred over a one page resume. In some countries written communication is not important to decision making. The same is true for dress and appearance.
Clothing has different meanings in different cultures.
In many countries formal dress implies a great deal about one's position and status - more so that in the U.S. and other less formal countries such as Australia and New Zealand. In many hot and humid countries, where a suit seems to be impractical attire given the climatic conditions, nonetheless, a suit or sport coat worn with a long-sleeved shirt would be appropriate attire for a job interview. Dining customs also differ. In some cultures, for example, it's impolite and even rude to pass things with your left hand, reach for items on the table, eat everything on your plate, or drink the last half inch of beverage in your glass. And where you stay and how you arrive at an interview say something about your status.
