If you're not sure about the company dress code, don't be shy to ask before your interview. Trying to guess may leave you dressed inappropriately. Is it a suit and tie environment? Business casual? Perhaps you're interviewing on a casual day, and if so, find out whether it's appropriate for you to arrive in smart casual wear as well. If you are working with a recruiter, they will likely let you know what to expect. Whatever you end up wearing, make sure you're neat and well groomed. Be courteous throughout the interview. Be aware of your body language, including eye contact. Be engaging and dynamic without going overboard. Thank them for their time and interest, but don't belabor this with gushing gratitude.
There's nothing wrong with being expressive and showing your personality, but keep it at an appropriate level. Keep your cool and keep it professional. Being able to adjust your interaction appropriately comes with experience and practice. Most importantly, end on a high note.

My Coaching
|
| Get an edge over the competition |
In a job interview, you want to make the best impression possible - and you want this impression to last. It's not just about how you interact with the interviewer - it's also how you interact with others you may come across, including the receptionist. It's how you carry yourself in the elevator and even in the restroom. Be mindful of your deportment at all times, without seeming affected. You really want to develop a natural, pleasing deportment if you don't already have one.
- Treat everyone you meet with respect and kindness, whether it's the interviewer or the person who brings you coffee.
- Wear comfortable, appropriate clothing and walk with confidence.
- Speak clearly and maintain appropriate eye contact.
- Offer a firm (but not crushing) handshake.
- Learn people's names.
- Be punctual and never appear rushed or flustered.
- Have a positive attitude and don't complain.
- Smile
