Dressing and Business Etiquettes
Many young students do think – as I too used to when I graduated – that dressing is not important. Many years later, I realized that I could not have been farther from reality.
In fact dressing, proper grooming
(hair cut & style etc.), etiquettes are the things each interview panel member
is certain to see though he may not be able to judge the depth of our knowledge
in the limited 30 minutes of interaction. Similarly when one panel member is interacting
with you, the others have time to notice your dressing, body language and the like.
