The Art of Interviewing
By Mary Dixon Weidler
Your makeup should be natural, your hairstyle simple and your jewelry minimal. You don't want anything to distract the interviewer from what you're saying. Also keep in mind that many people have allergies to scents, so perfume should be used sparingly or not at all.
OK, you look the part – so act it. Even if you're feeling nervous, you shouldn't act that way. Smile confidently and offer a firm handshake to the interviewer. Make sure you're organized – carry a copy of your references, a resume and letters of recommendation with you for your reference. Take a purse or a briefcase, but not both. Be upbeat, and remember your people skills. Employers want to be able to imagine you fitting in with the work environment they've established. It's your job to make that scenario easy to picture. That's the final step in the process toward making it a reality!
Part three of this series covers the pros and cons of working from home.
