It is almost impossible to overdress for an interview unless you are wearing a tuxedo or a beaded evening gown.

Dressing up is not only a way to make you attractive; it is one of the many signals of respect you will send to the interviewer during this first 20 seconds. It says, “I respect your time enough to think carefully about my wardrobe.”

Many of my clients object to dressing up for an interview. They may complain that the vice president of the company is wearing shorts and sandals and has an untrimmed beard. Or that the CEO is wearing Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and cowboy boots.

The difference between you and the interviewer is that you don’t have an office with your name on the door (yet). Before you get the job, take the time to be more formal and more conservative than you would normally
be. (Then, when you’re hired, you can don your army boots, expose your tattoos, and get down to work with the best of them!)

Remember, it is not the price of your clothes or how well they match the latest fashion. What makes the difference is that you give the distinct appearance of having taken some time to put yourself together. A few guidelines to achieve that image follow.

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.

Let’s talk about each of these steps and why they are a part of the almost choreographed ritual of getting down to the serious business of interviewing. First, the smile. You may take that for granted, but check your attitude some time and see how easily and warmly you can smile at a complete stranger. Practice smiling at strangers on the streets or from your car. Exercise those smile muscles so they’ll be there when you need them.

A smile is not just another facial expression. It’s a signal to that primitive part of the brain that makes the split-second assessment of friend or foe. It says, “I’m on your side. I will not harm you.”

So, no matter how you may really feel that day of the interview, and no matter how silly it may seem to grin, smile. It will send a message to your own brain of being happy and at ease, and it will assure the interviewer’s brain that you are there to aid, not to threaten.

Linguists and psychologists have said that 93 to 97 percent of communication is nonverbal, and the smile is one very important part of that communication.

What to Wear
Now that you’re wearing that beautiful, warm smile, let’s look at the rest of what you’re wearing. Guess what? You don’t necessarily have to go out and buy a $400 outfit to be dressed appropriately for an interview (unless you want to, of course). Maybe all you need to do is invest $5 in getting those dress slacks pressed or having that attractive blazer dry cleaned.

This is not a “dress-for-success” book. It’s much more important that you look neat, clean, polished, and pressed. I’m not going to tell you what color or what shoes to wear. That’s up to you. Let’s keep it simple.

3. Have a firm handshake, using the whole hand. A handshake that is too loose unconsciously communicates to the interviewer that you are not fully committed. On the other hand, a bone-crushing handshake sends a message that you may be overly competitive. Neither of these messages is attractive to an interviewer. A handshake that is firm with one, two, or three “pumps” of the elbow is an appropriate business greeting, signaling to the employer, “Let’s get down to business.”

4. Address the interviewer as Ms. or Mr. ________________ until you’re invited to call him or her by a first name. Again, this greeting is part of being respectful of the interviewer’s time and authority.

5. Introduce yourself by your first and last names and say that you are happy to be there. Do you know that only 40 percent of interviewers are trained to do the job of interviewing? My surveys of managers and directors from Fortune 500 companies indicate that they very often feel more nervous about interviewing you than you feel about the interview! Introducing yourself and expressing that you’re glad to be there is the first step to putting the interviewer at ease, so that you can both enjoy a relaxed meeting.

6. Do not sit down until the interviewer suggests that you do. If he or she doesn’t, ask politely if you may sit down. As soon as you sit down in a chair in the interviewer’s office, you become part of his or her territory. It is
therefore wise to wait until you are invited to sit or you have asked permission to do so.

7. Do not, at any time during the interview, put anything on the interviewer’s desk. Keep briefcases, note pads, date books, and purses by your side or on your lap. The employer’s desk is even more sacred and private territory than the surrounding office. Keep hands, elbows, and any other items from the top of the desk. If, however, you have been invited to sit at a conference
table or a round table that is not a desk, you should feel free to take notes on the tabletop as the meeting goes on. These spaces are shared territory, unlike a person’s desk, which is private.

8. Make your behavior in the waiting room impeccably professional and polite. Interviewers often ask their receptionists what they thought about you. Many managers, directors, and executives rely on their assistants as
a second pair of eyes, so you’ll want them to give their bosses a good report.

There are many similarities between reading and dreaming. When reading, even though you are inputting visual words to the brain, it is the image created by the meaning of those words that makes it reading and is similar to dreaming. In fact, a dreamy state of altered consciousness is preferred in Light-Speed Reading. Generally, when one reads thousands of words per minute, the images come fast and vague. Much like dreaming, the images can be recalled using the same mechanism used to retrieve dream memories. This is a procedure for recalling dreams and Light-Speed Reading images and concepts. Practicing dream recall will assist you in recalling (and thus improving comprehension of) read material.

Procedure:
1. Upon waking, immediately ask yourself, “What was I just dreaming about?”
2. Write down your dream as you remember it
3. Link vague memories to concrete memories (the “that reminds me of…” system)
4. Trust your vague memories about your dreams until they become more concrete
5. Link more vague memories to the new concrete ones until the entire dream is recalled
6. Continue with all dreams

The world is like a mirror; frown at it, and it frowns at you. Smile, and it smiles too. —Herbert Samuels

You have 20 seconds or less to impress upon an employer whether or not she should consider hiring you. From the moment you walk into her office to the moment you sit down in a chair, thousands of neurons will be firing in the interviewer’s brain asking one of two things: “Is this person friend or foe?” It’s an inescapable reflex, necessary to our survival as a species, to gauge immediately whether the stranger before us is going to help us or
hurt us.

First Impressions
Whether it is morally right or wrong to judge a person the moment we meet her, it is a biological necessity that we do so. As long as we know that’s a fact, we need to ensure that we use it to our advantage.

If you want the interviewer’s initial response to be “this is a friend” rather than the opposite, you should follow a few seemingly simple instructions.

1. Wear a smile, no matter how you feel. A smile conveys confidence, high self-esteem, competence, warmth, and enthusiasm. Plus, believe it or not, medical testing of brain activity has shown that when people smile, they actually perform better at what they are doing because they are using more of both the left and right sides of the brain!

2. Wear clothes that are appropriate to the occasion. It is not so much the color of your suit or the pattern on your tie that matters. It is the respect you show to the interviewer by indicating, indirectly, that the interview is an important occasion to you and that you value the interviewer’s time so much that you have put serious consideration into your appearance.

When the right and left sides of the brain communicate with the conscious and subconscious, a new point of awareness is developed, a balanced view. This exercise is to assist anyone in developing a new point of awareness (a new level of consciousness).
