First Impressions Count! - It’s common knowledge that first impressions count when interviewing for
a job. But with unemployment at 8.6% and rising across the country, we must pay particular attention
not only to our interviewing skills, but also make sure our overall appearance is focused and sending
off the right message. Below find some tips and suggestions that will help you stand out and above
the rest.
What are some things we can do to make sure we look our best?
Remember when you walk into an interview you are basically being sized up on your previous
performances and potential employable aspects. But don’t think for a second that your look or image
shouldn’t be just as smart. This doesn’t mean that you should run and change everything to stand
out, it’s quite the opposite. You want to make sure your potential employer sees you for your
commitment, focus and background and isn’t distracted by something about your appearance. A few
things to take in mind:
Teeth? Do people really pay attention to teeth during an
interview?
If you are not using a whitening toothpaste start now! It’s the most cost effective way to get a bright
healthy smile, which is a great way to start off any interview. And if you’re one of the mass that still
doesn’t floss- get to it. Not only is there plaque build-up and stains hanging out in the corners of your
teeth, but if left unattended to, you could find yourself with some very costly dental work in your future.
Sometimes flossing is painful, especially if your teeth are tight. That’s why I like Glide Floss. It gently
slides in between teeth without pain. The Glide Whitening with Scope Flavor Floss can even help
brighten up the stains with a special silica and impart a burst of scope freshness. It will also remove
that pepper between your teeth before you walk into that big meeting!

Are you wearing flashy glasses that are overpowering or
say something about you before you even start talking?
Down size. Look for frames that fit your face and do not follow a sparkly or oversized trend. Try a frame
like Silhouette’s styles. They easily blend into the structure of most face shapes and you can use an
online tool- the virtual mirror- that allows you to upload your picture and find a frame that’s more
suitable for the job hunt.

Is anyone looking at hair?
Try to keep your hair out of your face and out of the focus of your conversation. If you’re due for a salon
visit for a color refresh but can’t afford it or you just have stubborn grays you’d like to cover- approach
your drugstore and get an at home hair color. My favorite for really getting grays tinted to submission
or just as a shine- impacting, rich color is L’Oreal’s Excellence To Go. It takes ten minutes and comes
in 12 very natural, shimmery shades that last and bring back life to your hair and skin tone.

Are you a sweater?
Dry up before the big meeting!
Deodorant and anti-perspirant are a necessity if you get a little wet under pressure. Not only do they
work under your arms but they can work on your palms if you tend to get slippery there too. I like the
clinical formulas, like Secret Clinical Strength and Dove Clinical Protection. They dry smooth and do
not leave any residue or white powder.
