Attitude: The key element to successful interviewing is not your experience, your grades, what classes you took, your extracurricular activities, or any of the other basic necessities. Those skills are what got you the interview. The key element to successful interviewing can be summed up in one word: attitude. If you want to rise above others with better experience, better grades, or better anything, you will need to work on developing a highly positive work attitude.
Your attitude determines whether you will "make the cut" or be discarded. Remember, there are plenty of competitors with the ability to do almost any given job-- especially at the entry level. The way most employers differentiate at the entry level is by candidates' attitudes toward the job. Your attitude is often what recruiters will remember when the dust has settled after reviewing ten, twenty, or even one hundred candidates--the one who was sincerely willing to put forth their very best effort. If you have the attitude of wanting to do your very best for the company, of being focused on the company's needs, of putting yourself forth as the person who will be committed and dedicated to fulfilling their needs, you will likely be the one chosen.
Why is attitude so important? Because most companies already have their full share of multi-talented superstars who care about no one but themselves. Ask any manager who the most valuable member of his team is, and he will point not to the overrated superstar, but to the person who has the "can do" attitude, the person who can be counted on in any situation, the person who truly strives for excellence.



Dressing: The resume was a hit, you been called for an interview. You're summoned to the personnel director's office at such-and-such a time. You scan the closet for the perfect outfit, one that says, "hire me," and it's just not there. You panic.
Perhaps this is that terrifying interview for a first job, or maybe it's a return to the work force after a long hiatus. In a business world that, sadly, doesn't come with an instruction manual, how do you dress for success? First impressions are the key to interviewing success, says Susan More, author of "How to Gain the Professional Edge." That first impression, she says, takes only 10 seconds. Dress the part.
"You're packaging yourself, you're taking everything they've read about you and saying "Here I am!."
Stick to the basics. First things first- you can't go wrong with a suit. For Men: A matching two-or three- piece suit, pressed shirt and maybe a vest. An interesting tie (but not a flashy one) shows personality. For Women: a matching shalwar suit and proper dopatta is safest. light lipstick adds personality.
Does that go for all jobs? Of course, there is no simple answer for everything. Every job interview presents a different situation. Do your homework, says Jan Haxton, a personal shopper at Nordstrom in Costa Mesa, CA. "If you have friends that are familiar with that environment, ask them. Ask the human resource person and don't be shy. If you're going to err, I'd dot it on the side of being too conservative."
Some absolute color rules: A man's belt should match his shoes. Red, striped ties are overused- go with something more original. A clean, neat, personal appearance is just as important as the clothes on your body.
"Make sure you hair is in a current style, your skin is in good shape and your make-up is appropriate to the job," Roxanne Doumani of the Jacques Doumani Image Institute says. "Men's facial hair should be very well groomed." The clean-shaven look is usually the best bet.
Other tips: nails should be clean, manicured and not too long. Hair should be no longer than shoulder length if it's down, and women should avoid girlish hair bows. Some make-up is better than none, but it should be understated. Don't forget the inside. Image consultants stress a well-groomed, classy exterior, but their last word is always the same: You have to feel comfortable with the clothes to make them work for you.
Shoes- the condition of your shoes is important; make sure they are well-polished and clean. For women, no sandals or open-toed shoes. A medium heeled pump is safest.
Jewelry- less is more. Wear only one ring per hand, and it's a good idea to wear a classy, business-like watch. Nothing big or clunky.
Thanx
