I have an interview tomorrow for a job I want quite badly, but I have never actually had a formal interview before. As the time approaches, I'm getting a bit neurotic about the little things:
- Should I paint my fingernails? Should the fingernails match the toenails?
- Glasses or no glasses?
- I can inconspicuously conceal all of my tattoos but the ones on my wrists. Do those really matter, or should I wear long sleeves (seems absurd in the summer)?
- Gum or no gum (I thought fresh minty breath would be a plus, but I fear chewing gum looks unprofessional)?
- Do I touch up my roots? I don't have tu-tone hair, but to the critical eye, it could use some freshening up.
- Is it poor manners to bring in a coffee?
Any other tips? I have no idea what people notice in ordinary circumstances, let alone a job interview.
I want to be a hermit that writes technical manuals from a cave.
