First Impressions Count

People shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but they do, all the time. If you look untidy that’s how you will be remembered. Men should always wear a suit and tie and women a suit or smart dress.

Maintain a formal approach even if you know the organisation allows a less formal dress code, as you never know who you might happen to meet, perhaps even the Managing Director.

Remember you manners, shake hands firmly with the people when you are introduced to them and when you conclude the interview.
