>> It's absolutely critical.
You really have to put your best foot forward, and I always remind students when I talk
to them, when you're in an interview you have a one-time shot, maybe ten - fifteen minutes,
thirty minutes, depending on what you're interviewing for and you need to come in,
present yourself as someone who cares about how they look, how they carry themselves,
are articulate, well spoken, think about their answers.
One of the things that I find most difficult, especially with people
that are doing their first interview, is they tend to be a little too relaxed.
This is a chance for you to shine, and as a result you really have to be on your game,
and I think that's important whether it be -- you don't have to be stylish, but be neat,
presentable, and really carry yourself with an air of confidence,
and really show people that you really are engaged.
That's the critical step.
