(Man) During a job interview, your behavior, clothes, and speech are important. It's important that you
arrive on time and be polite, sincere, and organized. Most people don't realize that the way one dresses for an
interview is also important. If your clothes are wrinkled or mismatched, the interviewer may think that you
really don't care about your appearance and even about the quality of your work. Your outfit doesn't have to
cost a fortune, but it should be neat and clean to make a good impression on the interviewer. And, please,
please don't arrive at the interview in clothes that have stains or rips. Don't borrow your friend's clothes if
they don't fit well. This is one of the common mistakes that job seekers make: they don't want to spend the
money and end up losing a chance to get an offer.
It's important to remember that if you don't make a good first impression, you may not get a chance to make
another one. When you speak, you need to adjust your speech rate. If the interviewer speaks fast, you have to
speak just as fast. If the person in charge speaks slowly, you'll have to slow down. Research has shown that
most (people) like those individuals who speak at the same speed as they do.
