Why it is important to put some thought in to how I am going to present at an interview?
You may have heard of the saying, ‘You never get a second chance to make a good first impression’, and this is true when meeting a potential employer. Of course they are going to be much more interested in your experience and personality, and ensuring you are a good cultural fit for the company. But, think about if they like two candidates and are not able to decide which one would be better in the role, they will start to breakdown the finer details. Did one of the candidates have scuffed shoes or was their shirt not ironed? It might seem trivial, but when you work in a company you are a representative of that company, so employers do take account of how you present, whether it is a casual tech start-up or a more formal legal firm.
