""Most people don't do the proper research about the company. We have so many resources to use, including LinkedIn, websites, and social media," she said. "There's no excuse for you to go into an interview and not know about the company and something about who might be interviewing you.""
""Very rarely do we see someone overdressed for a job interview," she said. "They oftentimes don't put a lot of thought into the details, like the color of their belt or that their shoes are matching their outfit.""
""Why would an employer want to hire someone who doesn't pay attention to the details?" Whitmore asked."
Candidates often enter interviews without researching the company or the people they will meet despite abundant resources like LinkedIn, company websites, and social media. Tailored questions for the interviewer demonstrate preparation and interest. Dressing appropriately and attending to small details — matching shoes, belt color, removed tags, and opened vents — signals professionalism and attention. Cleaning up social media profiles before interviews prevents avoidable negative impressions. Simple actions such as arriving on time and sending a thank-you note after the interview provide easy opportunities to strengthen a positive impression.
