Question

The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her university degree during the day. When she finally   16  , she had her eye on a teaching   17   at a nearby primary school. With the help of her friends, she had  18   with the Head.

“I noticed a tiny   19  in one of my stockings earlier.” she recalled. “I thought about   20   them, but I knew I’d be   21   if I did. And by the time I got to the interview，it was bigger. I walked in apologizing for not looking my best.” The would-be teacher didn’t   22   the job. In fact her friends told her that the Head’s only comment was, “If someone doesn’t take the time to   23   her best image at an interview, what kind of   24   is she going to be?”

In job-hunting, personal   25   is very important. After all, you’re selling a product—  26   —to an employer. When going to a job interview, always brush your hair tidily, polish your shoes and above all,   27   yourself properly. It will give you a competitive   28   and a positive first   29 . The above idea was also suggested in a best-seller for jobseekers named Dress for Success.

First impressions are   30   ones. In other words, if you’re viewed positively within the critical first four  31 , the person you’ve met will   32   feel everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will guess you have a lot of other   33   characters. In a word, he may not take the time to give you a second   34 . Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about   35   will care about their jobs.
