"Hello! Peggy Johnson here for Expert Village. I am going to discuss how to prepare for a job interview. I would like to emphasize how important appearance is. It is probably right up there with anything you are going to do. If you come in T-shirt, jeans, shorts, cap on, a guy with earrings on, this could be a turn off and you need to dress appropriately. You need to have a suit on or something. For instance, it depends on what you are interviewing for but if you are interviewing for fast food, I still wouldn't wear jeans. I would wear khakis and a nice shirt. No T-shirts with writing on it, never. A dress shirt long sleeved shirt with cuff for guys and girls need to wear nice shirts and not little tight T-shirts or nothing cropped tight or anything like that.
