I'm not "in the position to pick and choose."
I have no marketable professional skills. I am a manual laborer mostly. Fortunately I like it. |

True, but not at the job interview stage. They'll immediately decide to go with someone less impulsive and more reliable. Same with gum and possibly even the nail polish. [semi personal info ]I work in a very conservative environment and wore a suit to my interview, combed my hair real nice and all that shit, yet I have lots of visible tattoos, wear JEANS (OMG SHOCKING), have hipster long hair and a hipster beard...... now after 4 years there I show up sweaty from biking in my shorts and no one gives a cats whiskers because they know I'm competent and can do my job, but for that first year while still on union probation? Well you better believe I played nice....... And I had to interview in front of a panel of people, 5 I believe including a doctor and upper upper upper management....... not fun[/semi personal info] It only takes them what, about 5 seconds to decide yes or no in their mind, usually before you've spoken a word (or was that seeing the resume? I forget now) so don't take any chances, we are still in a recession no matter what 'merica says about it......... |

the slobby idiot who just quit wore jeans, a tshirt for an automotive repair shop and.....flip flops (every day).
I always wear a shirt and tie---even on 'casual days'. like a boss. |

I've found the whole interview process has evolved into a kind of humiliating pantomime.

The advice really depends what kind of job you're applying for and what they're looking for. I know plenty of companies that won't hire people if they dress too conservative and have no tattoos. But the coffee is an obvious one.

I once had to interview some people and write a report. I did and recommended they'd hire the GOOD one. They wanted the young and cute and dumb one instead.

truncated, I wouldn't worry about the tattoos and feel it's likely that you should wear the glasses. Do touch-up your roots and of course don't chew gum. The toe/fingernails thing seems completely indicative of a lot of unneccesary worry. Coffee seems to me to be up to you. Unfortunately, many of these interview processes, like much in our culture where undue scrutiny takes place, are strictly pageantry and the recruiters already have a fair idea of a type that they want beforehand, or, at worst, it's a side-door-gets-you-in deal instead of the front door and much depends on who you know. So try to take that in the positive aspect and realize that it's not at all worth working yourself up over.
On the whole, I can only relate my somewhat recent experience and perhaps some of what follows may prove helpful to you. I was one of some sixty applicants for my current job that I've held for the past three years. Two interviews were required, and in retrospect, neither were particularly grueling, although I was so nervous during the first one that as soon as I was told there would be a second with a narrowed field of candidates, I went to a psychologist twice to help stave off what I felt would be my inevitable anxiety. I guess the main point here is to not let yourself become your own worst enemy. The therapist employed a deep relaxation technique, starting with visualization of complete calm at the top of my head and continuing downward systematically to the tips of my toes as he intoned a hypnotizing voice. With my eyes closed at one point during the second session, I felt for several minutes as if I was lifted out of my body and rising to the ceiling of his office. We worked at coming up with a way other than deep breathing and counting to kickstart a calming effect directly preceding the interview and encourage the relaxation I had hopefully accumulated in sense memory during the appointments. I hit upon the idea during the second session to do some repetitive exercises to condition myself as to when the calm would take effect at precisely the moment that I sat down in the interviewee's chair. I believe this helped more than anything and allowed me to project my positive attributes and present myself in the best light. At one point several months after being on the job, I was searching my e-mail program for something or another and stumbled across a message from my immediate boss to the owner boss in which the person being promoted whose job I was taking and my direct manager expressed that they liked a particular candidate best, but, fortunately for me, the owner expressed that he preferred to hire me. I imagined beforehand, with some help researching on the net, what types of questions would be asked. I wrote out responses and also questions of my own in a notebook. I didn't utilize much of this rehearsal, but there were bits of phrases here and there that manifested, and all in all, it assisted in serving as a provision for certain guidepost touchstones along the way in the jumble of the event. Good luck! |

Never to worry...this marks no substantial return to these pages.
