Your qualifications are impressive and your resume Is professionally prepared. You are ready for those tough questions, rehearsed your confident smile and firm handshake. Try to arrive at least fifteen minutes early for the interview. This will give you time to stop in the restroom and do a thorough once-over to be sure you are ready. It will also give you time to relax and collect your thoughts.
First impressions are crucial .
Whether we like it or not, the way you dress sends out important signals about who you are, since the people in charge often make snap judgments based on the color of your outfit and style of your shoes. In the medical profession, suits or dresses are o.k., but being clean and well groomed is most important. Enter the interviewing area with your chin up and your shoulders back. Demonstrate confidence, but not arrogance. Do not initiate a handshake, but if one is offered, accept it with a firm grasp, shake once or twice and let go.
