The toga and graduation cap are set. All around the campus students stir with a different kind of energy as the semester comes to a close. Gone are the days when academic requirements are the biggest thing happening in your life. In just a few months you will be scanning the job boards, finally looking for your first job as a graduate.
“Most new graduates feel nervous when it comes to their first few job interviews. They are hopeful but at the same time anxious. One of the things to remember is self-presentation because when you look good, confidence follows,” comments Philips Consumer Lifestyle Business Development Manager for Personal Care, Ms. Pia Umayam.
For men, Ms. Umayam suggests a polished and cleanly-shaven appearance. “How a person appears in an interview can be very crucial to the success of an application. A lot of hiring managers say that looking inappropriate is one of their top turnoffs when considering candidates. For men, being cleanly-shaven can make or break the impression they are trying to make.”
