First impressions require grooming
This article is actually not about arriving at a reception or event, but it is focused on how one should present oneself, dress-wise, appearance wise, and interaction-wise at a job interview. The self-care consideration is imperative because looks matter. It is said that first impression is the last impression, and it definitely rings true. Let me enumerate a few examples to emphasize my contention.
How you give importance to the interview should be your personal opinion but if you are serious about it and passionately hoping for a positive response from the interviewer, then there are some pointers to make a favorable impression. If you are a male, first thing first. Unless you sport a beard, make sure you are clean shaven and not carrying days-old stubble on your face. How your dressing preference is, surely also important. I usually advice office job seekers to either wear a suit or combination (nothing outrageous), have a white or pastel colored shirt (no reds, blacks, or oranges), definitely wear a tie (making sure it is pulled up to the chin and not half tied), and oh yes, wear shoes (polished) and not sandals. Jeans are an absolutely no-no. Please do comb your hair unless you have a hair deficiency.
If you are a female, the advice is also to look presentable, wear a non seductive outfit, refrain from having a gaudy make-up, and ensure decency even if the interviewer (in case he is a male and resorts to chauvinistic attempts). The appearances at the interview must be civil and professional.

Before entering the room, please do knock and. once inside, offer salutation (Assalam-o-Alaikum or Good Morning), and wait for the interviewer to ask you to sit down. Sit straight and comfortably but never slouch or keep one leg over the other and maintain confident body language. Let the interviewer make the first remarks. He/she will have your file in front as he commences the interview. Now begins the question and answer session. You should be ready to respond. You must listen attentively to what is being asked. Your answers should be to the point and refrain from beating about the bush, bragging about your skills and past achievements, or adding irrelevant information.
