The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her university degree during the day. When she finally     , she had her eye on a teaching       at a nearby primary school. With the help of her friends, she had      with the Head.
“I noticed a tiny      in one of my stockings earlier.” she recalled. “I thought about      them, but I knew I’d be          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       the job. In fact her friends told her that the Head’s only comment was, “If someone doesn’t take the time to      her best image at an interview, what kind of      is she going to be?”
In job-hunting, personal         is very important. After all, you’re selling a product—     —to an employer. When going to a job interview, always brush your hair tidily, polish your shoes and above all,           yourself properly. It will give you a competitive       and a positive first          . The above idea was also suggested in a best-seller for jobseekers named Dress for Success.
First impressions are       ones. In other words, if you’re viewed positively within the critical first four         , the person you’ve met will               feel everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will guess you have a lot of other       characters. In a word, he may not take the time to give you a second        . Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about         will care about their jobs.
