The good news is that interview techniques can be learned and since the average job search consists of numerous interviews, strengths can be determined and cultivated. Although most managers will likely have experienced the interview process, either as an interviewer or an interviewee, it is very beneficial to review physical, mental and emotional preparation techniques. The first of the three areas that requires focused preparation for an interview is physical appearance. Appearance counts and certain appearances command the interviewers' attention. Although it seems basic, good grooming is vital for an interviewee to be considered desirable.
Employers look for a certain amount of self-confidence in applicants, and dressing well can help.
Employers generally take a liking to people similar to themselves, so choose clothes that reflect what you know of the prospective job and workplace. As a rule, moderation is best for job interviews. Applicants should avoid excessive accessories and heavily scented perfumes and colognes. Despite what the everyday attire at a particular club might be, business attire is the most appropriate for interviews. Men should follow the rule of wearing navy or gray suits and the preferred black shoes and matching belts.
