Did You See the Moonwalking Bear?

Just like this video, when it comes to Interviewing, it’s all in the details. I recently had the opportunity to sit with an HR Manager shortly after an interview she had conducted. When I asked her how it went, she said, “His shirt was wrinkled” and “He wore the same suit and tie for his last interview”. I was thinking she would comment on how he had answered the questions, while she was stuck on the details she noticed. So how can you avoid from this happening to you?

1) Appearance Counts: Prepare your wardrobe ahead of time, making sure your clothes are clean and pressed. If this is a second interview, switch out your shirt and tie for a different look.

2) Follow Directions: If the HR manager gives you any specific instructions, make sure you follow them. This gentleman was advised by her that this interview would be business casual (no suit and tie).

3) Manners Matter: Be courteous to everyone you meet at the company you are interviewing with. I know for a fact that HR Managers ask other employees that did not conduct interviews for their feedback. Remember, it’s all in the details!
