Does how you look and show up for an interview matter?

It's very likely to have a big impact on potential employers and probably to potential clients too.

That's the feedback one candidate in New York got for the reason she didn't get the job."She arrived at the job interview without make-up."

I'm certainly not advocating for companies to select based on looks, in fact quite the opposite. And in this case, it was about make-up.

If you find someone with an incredible attitude and potential, you can coach them on the other things.

However, whether we like it or not, first impressions do matter.

Humans make quick decisions about others based on things like appearance, body language, tone of voice.

So if you are about to interview for a great job, do all you can to give yourself the best chance of success.
