Ask any employer who has just made a good hire when they knew they had found the best candidate for the job and nine times out of ten they'll say, "as soon as (s)he walked through the door."

The hackneyed old chestnut about only getting one chance to make a good first impression is never more true than when applied to the interview situation.

You must look the part – clothing, posture, facial expressions, body language – everything must be letter-perfect. Most people dress either for comfort or to make a statement and fall into a routine. And, like it or not, we all assess new acquaintances from the outside in.

So, if you are unsure of the impression that you are making with your appearance or if you want to improve that impression, you should consider a professional once-over.

Fortify offers consultations encompassing:

Your clothes and the styles best suited to you.
Appropriate clothing for your industry / field.
Hair and grooming.
Make-up and accessories to optimise your appearance.
Postural control, voice and breath control and body language for interviews.

The basic rules ...
