So -Your resume and business card are amazing, your cover letter superb, the elevator speech was perfect, and now you finally got that interview and you are ready! You arrive 10 minutes early wearing your new dress - which says you are a business professional with juuust a hint of sexy! Everything is just PERFECT!
Then you go to into the interview smelling like the perfume counter at Dillards!
Are you KIDDING ME?!
The hiring manager is smiling and asks you the required questions (between polite coughs). You wonder why his eyes are watering...Hay feaver??? and then the interview is over. Days later you get the email… Sorry, but the position has been filled by someone more…"qualified".
Surprised?
Don’t be! If your perfume arrives before you do then GUESS WHAT?
YOU WON"T BE HIRED!
Don't you realize that perfume and cologne are designed for arousal, not nausea! It is NOT to announce your presence! I know, I know… YOU can’t smell it! That is because your olfactory nerves are overloaded!
If you are a chain smoker addicted to nicotine- go get the patch!
Love onion and garlic sandwiches… NOT TODAY! You may look good, and sound good, but if you smell bad – forget it!
Don’t let your perfume (or cologne guys!) cost you a job!
Make a good first impression!
Use your head…AND your nose!
