So inspect yourself carefully before going for an interview. If it's a big shot corporate house maintain impeccable dress code. You must never wear dresses that are creased, dirty, torn or revealing. You must also never put on dresses that are flashy and gaudy. This indeed gives a bad impression about the candidate. Therefore you must flaunt a neat, formal shirt and trousers with or without a sober tie. Moreover, you must tie up your hair neatly in case you are wearing it long. Cleanliness is appreciated in the corporate offices.

Answer the questions confidently and do not fumble or fiddle with your fingers or pens. Shyness must be shunned at all costs. You must have some knowledge of corporate etiquettes and while speaking or addressing never for once lose eye contact.
So if you follow these simple basic rules you can get ten on ten as far as appearance goes. Also remember that you must maintain upright posture while sitting opposite your interviewer. Never slouch.
