APPEARANCEYou won't get a second chance to make a good first impression. Wear conservative business attire and pay attention to detail: Make sure your shoes are shined, hair combed, fingernails cleaned, breath fresh, etc. Your appearance will tell them much about how you feel about them, the situation and yourself. Employers see enough impeccably dressed candidates that one who is not will stick out like a sore thumb. This is something that, by itself, will not get you a job, but may cost you one.WHEN TO ARRIVEArrive 10 to 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. This will give you time to fill out an application if they request it and still be ready at the appointed time. Make certain you have clear directions to the company and allow extra travel time in case of traffic or car problems. It is better to be 10 minutes late because you stopped to call and forewarn them than to be 5 minutes late without calling.
