The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her university degree during the day. When she finally 16 , she had her eye on a teaching 17 at a nearby primary school. With the help of her friends, she had 18 with the Head.

“I noticed a tiny 19 in one of my stockings earlier.” she recalled. “I thought about 20 them, but I knew I’d be 21 if I did. And by the time I got to the interview，it was bigger. I walked in apologizing for not looking my best.” The would-be teacher didn’t 22 the job.

In job-hunting, personal 25 is very important. After all, you’re selling a product— 26 —to an employer. When going to a job interview, always brush your hair tidily, polish your shoes and above all, 27 yourself properly. It will give you a competitive 28 and a positive first 29 . The above idea was also suggested in a best-seller for jobseekers named Dress for Success.

First impressions are 30 ones. In other words, if you’re viewed positively within the critical first four 31 , the person you’ve met will 32 feel everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will guess you have a lot of other 33 characters. In a word, he may not take the time to give you a second 34 . Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about 35 will care about their jobs.
