SURPRISINGLY, most of us know very little about

with undue pauses.”

interviewers. It is vital to hold their attention for

the span of the introduction.”

DRESS SUITABLY3.

YOUR body is your first personal resume. How you

present yourself sartorially is often the most

important aspect in an interview.”

Don’t fidget or lose your mind. Remember, beat

the stress to bag the job.”
