Interview Success Training

The clothes you wear affect your attitude and confidence levels.

  First impression still counts and poor personal

appearance & careless dress at an interview are major factors leading to the rejection of applicants.

In fact, in one major survey:

◦ 95% of the employers interviewed said a jobseeker's personal appearance affected the employer's opinion of that applicant's suitability for a job.

◦ 91% said they believed dress and grooming reflected the applicant's attitude towards the company.

◦ 61% said dress and grooming had an effect on subsequent promotions, as well.
