DRESS FOR THE JOB INTERVIEW 

When preparing for a job interview, your appearance matters.
Dress appropriately, aligning your attire with the organisation's culture.
Remember, it's better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.
Choose comfortable, non-synthetic clothing to ensure comfort and avoid perspiration.
Pay attention to details like your choice of footwear and the condition of your hands, as recruiters often notice these aspects.

 

FIRST IMPRESSION 

Ensure you provide a firm handshake, an open attitude, and an appealing presence. Your appearance plays a crucial role in making a good first impression
Approximately 70 to 80% of all communication is non-verbal, so it's important to pay attention to how you look. 
You can help yourself by wearing clean clothes without crumbs or stains, polishing your shoes, keeping your hands and nails clean, etc. 
How quickly do you perspire? Using a light, but not dominant, eau de toilette will help counteract unnecessary body odours. Check out our article on how to make a good first impression at a job interview
