I was called for an interview last week, the company called it a briefing because they called in 10 people at a time and informed ll of us about the position. The manager stated to dress business informal. I take that as no jean and tee shirts or tennis shoes, to dress as if you are working at this astablishment. I should up early of course ( Never be late for an interview). I look around, here we have a man with jeans on a flannel shirt and tennis shoes, then there was the lady in black leather pants, black leather shirt and 4 inch black heals, is that business attire? Next we have the older gentleman in a business suit, yes he looks great for the job. Next we have the older lady wearing a pink sweater and jeans with flip-flops, I was laughting to myself most of these people did not listen to the managers request. As I was leaving I asked the assistant manager how many of us with be invited to a second intreview, she stated the ones that dresses for the job, then she stated 4 of us only and poited out to me the ones that will not be asked back. Those were the ones that couldn’t fallow a request to dress appropriatly. I was coming back. Also the one women that did not ask questions or talk the entire time, she was not invited back.
The reason I wrote thi article is to infor all of you that are looking for a job and go to an interview, dress the part, ask questions! If you don’t the person will think that you are not interested. I have interviewed hundreds of people i, the ones I did not call back were because of hygene, late to the interview, did not dress correctly, looked at the floor when I spoke to them, lack of interest.
