Presenting Positively
There is another popular expression: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” While qualifications on a resumé should never be inaccurate, the physical appearance of the job seeker should not be the same as their everyday attire. Dressing up is never a bad idea. It shows the employer that the potential employee is serious about the position. It implies a sense of priority that would be carried into the actual job itself.
While some might think that "business casual" is sufficient, especially in a more informal workplace, over-dressing simply shows the level of appearance to which the aspiring ESL teacher is capable of reaching.
If the end of the interview comes with the remark "When you come in next time, you don't need the tie," it can be assumed that the interview went well. On the other hand, while an interviewer may not directly reveal their opinion of a person's outfit, the sense of slovenliness will permeate the rest of the interview no matter how good the resumé.
Personal hygiene is of the utmost importance. A strong perfume or cologne can be a dangerous thing to wear to an interview, on the chance that the host doesn't like it and has their perception of the entire session colored by that distaste. Deodorant is usually a good idea, however, especially if one is nervous about the interview.
Wearing small items representing the culture where the ESL job is located may be appropriate, but this should be subtle. For example, a lapel pin with a small flag of the country or jewelry that is native to the culture might be a good idea. However, it should be up to the interviewer, not the interviewee, to mention it. If the wearer brings it up, it is too much like bragging, an immature way to show off.
