• Interview tips

You need to make sure that you wear your best clothes. This provides a great first impression. First impressions are really important as they do stick, and this impression will see you getting the job or not. A man should wear at least a tie and a shirt, and a woman should wear a skirt or a matching suit.

Reduce the amount of accessories you wear. Accessories can be eyebrow piercing, tattoos, nose rings and over the top jewelry. You want to look completely presentable in the interview and things like this may put the employer off from hiring you. They may eventually be okay to wear while you're on the job, it's not appropriate to wear them at this stage.

Remember to study about the company. Knowing what the company does and some information about it makes it look like you've done your research. This works in your favor.
