Dress for Success. Recruiters, like everyone else, make snap judgments based on personal appearance so make sure that you are appropriately dressed for an interview. Poor grooming and unprofessional clothing speak volumes and may cost you a job opportunity. Even if you are interviewing with a laid-back company that has a casual dress code, remember that you are not yet a member of the team. Always err on the side of formality and wear business attire to an interview. Select neutral colors for interviews like gray, black, navy, and brown. Accessories, including ties, scarves and jewelry, should be understated. Women should tone down makeup. Make sure that you are clean, neat and odor-free. Because some employees suffer from allergies, many companies have policies prohibiting the wearing of cologne and perfumed lotions in the workplace. It is also well-documented that the sense of smell can trigger powerful human emotions and memories. Those evoked by your cologne may not be positive for the interviewer. For these reasons, it is best to avoid wearing fragrances when interviewing. Remember, a well-groomed professional appearance says that you mean business and allows interviewers to focus solely on your qualifications for the job.

Point your feet toward the audience with your weight evenly distributed. Don’t place your weight on one hip and then shift to the other. Shifting can distract the audience. Movement Move to the side or front of the podium to get nearer the audience. When no podium is available, stay within 4-8 feet of the front row. Don’t stay in one spot but don’t pace either.
