First of all, appearance. As obvious as it may seem to some, not everyone dresses appropriately for a job interview. Your idea of appropriate dress may often come into conflict with what is expected by the hiring authority -- maybe not. Please remember that the hiring decision maker, like most of us, wants respect. They don't necessarily want to see your sexiest garb, or your hippest attire, or your most faddish display.

e CEO felt it was a good way to illustrate the image and flavor of the company to the prospective job candidate. Imagine the surprise, which I heard about later, when the job candidate walks in wearing a golf shirt and pair of loose fitting jeans and sneakers. The job candidate, whom I questioned later, felt since it was a casual job interview location it was appropriate to dress casually. I informed him that the CEO did not feel the same way.

But that sort of demeanor doesn't happen on its own. You must prepare by practicing those attributes prior to your job interview. And it's easy to practice those skills.
