From a personal perspective, I now these make the following recommendations :
a) Clothing-wear the high -end clothing from your wardrobe. Prior to the interview, try the outfit on first and wear it front of a full-length mirror… Practice sitting down and shaking hands as well in front of this mirror to see how your clothing presents itself. Women, please bring, if you are wearing nylons, an extra pair of panty hose/ nylons in case of accidents. Also, men and women, bring a stain away pen for emergencies to remove stains and spills on your clothing.
b) Smile, but not excessively during your interview. Please check a pocket mirror or car mirror to see that nothing is between your teeth , and that there are not any pen marks, dust particles, etc.. are on your face.
c) Eye contact- I suggest you try to not to stare intensely( eyeball- to- eyeball), but focus on the space between the eye brows.
d) Body scents- I coach my clients both men and women not to wear any scented deodorant, cologne or perfume as a lot of people have allergies/ chemical intolerance these days.

Clothing has to be #1 especially on first impressions. You have to dress how you would like to be percieved. Same goes with your online presence and profile pics, don't take a pic in your pjs and use it as your business profile picture.
