Dress Right, Seal the Deal: Four Fashion Tips for Gentlemen Before Interviews

By -

I know you need a contract worth a million naira. However, the million naira question is:


Is your appearance worth it?

It may surprise you to know that according to statistical analysis, people who dress well for interviews are 73% more likely to be called back for a second interview, or for the job. (Statistic Brain, 2016)


According to Forbes, 2015, for 95% of employees surveyed, personal appearance contributes exceedingly to the quota when determining whether a person is fit for the job and fit to keep it.


One's dress sense for an interview shows the amount of interest, passion and readiness a candidate has for the job.


When stepping into an interview room, appearance is the first to be seen, not certificates, qualifications, experience, accent, CV and more. 


Just like a food that doesn't look appealing would not give much encouragement to be eaten, a candidate that doesn't look interesting and ready may not be wholeheartedly welcome. 


He may just be told to sit for the interview, just because the interviewers have to do their job.


Consider the other side of the equation. 


What if a candidate steps into the interview room looking ready, interesting, updated and upgraded for the job, standing out from the rest?


Then, he speaks "wisdom" when asked to speak; e has a good speaking technique; he knows when to pause, when to make emphasis; he has experience; then, his second class can still land him the job a first class graduate applied for!


Gentlemen, 


Here are a few fashion tips you must take into consideration:


1) The rule of thumb states that the tip of your tie must be right above your belt. 


2) Tall gentlemen must wear long ties.


3) Your shirt must be according to your size.


4) Stop frowning, wear a smile; you cannot be angry at the world.

DENIAL

BY JESAM IBIANG Life often presents us with circumstances that challenge our core, moments where the ground beneath us seems to crumble. It is in these instances of profound hurt, overwhelming challenge, or urgent need for help that we frequently encounter denial. Denial is not merely ignoring a problem; it’s a profound, internal choice to cling to “what is not,” even when we know, deep down, the stark reality of “what is.” The truth is, there is no shame in acknowledging vulnerability or fear. Denial is a form of fear and it is often difficult to acknowledge fear. Denial, blurs the truth, offering a distorted lens through which to view our circumstances. I am not saying that denial is altogether a terrible thing. Denial is not inherently malicious. It serves a primal, protective function. Imagine the immediate aftermath of a sharp cut—a knife or a machete. For a few crucial seconds, there’s a numbness, a strange void before your brain registers the trauma and sends in the searing pain...

ANOTHER CAUTIONARY TALE

BY KAMSI MAFO Her head rests on his lap. His hand runs through her hair. She looks at him, a smile on her face. He seems not to notice, his brow furrowed with thought. She reaches up and touches his cheek lightly and his face lightens. "What smart thing are you thinking now?" she asks. He laughs gently, his baritone voice causing a vibration at the back of her neck that makes her tongue tingle. "Bits and pieces, here and there… nothing much," he responds. She looks at him funnily. "A funny anecdote or a paradox? Perhaps it's another story about another mad man," she says, laughing too. There’s a bit of quiet, and the only sound they hear is the night. "Tell me one of them," she says. "One of your stories." He smiles and tells her that it's not as easy as she thinks. "It comes and goes… like a whisper in the wind," he tells her. "There's a lot of breeze about," she responds. "Listen—perhaps it'll ...

LOSING HUMANITY

 BY TREASURE EKANEM “I think I’m losing faith in humanity.”  I get too engrossed in the things I do sometimes, and my roommates and friends have gotten used to repeating statements before I get to hear them. So, when I looked up at Sandy, the look on her let me know that she had made that statement to me more than once. I was piqued cause Sandy is one of the few friends I have that wholeheartedly lets me be the talker. She doesn’t voice out her thoughts and issues words sparingly. I knew whatever made her come all the way to my bed to say this must have burdened her a lot. So, I put my PC down, and asked, “Why do you think so?” No one truly loves any more. No one truly cares any more. No one gives selflessly anymore. No one trusts wholeheartedly anymore. We hate ourselves and we let it show in everything we do. We have become so self absorbed that as far as a concern doesn’t directly affect us, we wouldn’t care if it all goes to hell. We are so consumed in our own interests th...
