Planned interview attire that is appropriate for the job, the
company, and the industry. I have prepared every element of the
outfit, including shoes, jewelry, hose, tie, accessories. Inspect

neatly pressed. I've checked for spots and removed them. I've checked
for rips or tears and sewn them up or chosen another outfit. I've
checked for runs in my hose. I've ensured that my shoes are clean and
polished. I have a Plan B for attire if I come across any disasters.

Packed emergency-repair items I might need: small sewing kit, extra
pair of pantyhose, spot-remover wipes, tissues, comb and brush,
hairspray or gel, makeup for touchups, breath mints, an umbrella,
extra copies of my resume in case I have more than one interviewer,
and my career portfolio.
Plan to arrive about 10 minutes early since late arrival for a job
interview is never excusable. If I'm running late, I'll phone the
company.
Greet the receptionist or assistant with courtesy and respect and
make a good first impression.
Not chew gum during the interview.
