I recently spoke to a great
networking and career search group, Re:Focus on Careers, about creating a kick ass elevator speech. Keep an eye out for all of these free interview tips in my Career Corner posts:
Make a Good First Impression
The outcome of the interview will depend largely on the impression you make during the first five minutes. To succeed, you must project a professional, competent and enthusiastic image. Your aim is to convince the interviewer that you would be an asset to the company. Keep the following in mind:
3. Grooming. Clean hair and fingernails are essential. Hair should be styled conservatively. Wear deodorant. Avoid perfume/cologne and excessive make-up. Before the interview avoid foods that may give you bad breath; be careful of foods that may stain if spilled.
If you’re interested in having me speak at your next event about finding a career you love, go here: www.createyourcareerpath.com/appearances.html. I’d be happy to discuss!
