Clinching that job interview

Great news you finally get a job interview. If you are a woman you find your best outfit and dress up for the interview as if you were to be the representative of the company at an awards dinner. After the interview you wait....and wait....and wait, but no call. You finally call and find they picked someone else for the job. This keeps going on until you change your outfit, hair, shoes or some other physical attribute. You then find that after the first interview you are called back for the second or third interview.

You have discovered the meaning or judging a book by its cover. Company interviewers are judging you the way you look. We all know that it is a form of discrimination but how to prove that the company didn't like they way you looked would be hard. Before you start losing weight with the use of fat burners or consider plastic surgery do a mock interview with a neighbor or friend. Ask them to pick apart what you said or the way you presented yourself. If you are interviewing with men then ask a man for his input and vise a versa for women.


A word of caution, don't get upset when you hear the criticism. Use what they tell you to enable you to succeed at that next interview.
