Step-by-step explanation:
1. A clean and neat professional appearance is an important step in making a good first impression. You want the interviewer to focus on you and your skills not your clothes. Dress as you want to be seen: professional, successful, and the kind of person the company wants to represent it.
2. Many people think that arriving early will take too much time out of their day. Yet, arriving early actually gives you time back in your day. You will more than recoup the ten minutes you arrive early in the productivity you gain by being able to catch up and prepare for the interview.
3. Bringing a hard copy does two things: it refreshes your memory, and it makes you look prepared for anything. You should always bring two to three copies of your resume so the person you're meeting can have it in front of them throughout the conversation. A well-written resume can help you secure an interview and get a job offer.
4. Note taking forces you to pay attention and helps you focus while the interviewer is talking. It has been shown that actively engaging with the topic by listening and then writing what you hear helps you understand and remember the information later.
