Be clean for interviews to nail a job

DIRTY finger nails, limp handshakes and body odour are some of the worst “image mistakes” job-seekers make at interviews, often ruining their chances of being hired, according to a report.

One in four job applicants failed at interviews because of their appearance, research found.

The most common “clangers” were turning up late, slouching in the chair, dirty finger nails and “limp, wet” handshakes.
