"Person B: That ' s right . You need to create a good image in a limited time , usually about 30 to 45 minutes .",
"Person A: It ' s always easier to say something than to do it .",
"Person B: It ' s not too difficult to make a good impression . For example , you should take care to appear well-groomed and modestly dressed . Avoid the extremes of a too elaborate or too casual style . This will put you on the same level as other applicants and make the interviewer consider more important qualifications .",
"Person A: But I love wearing T-shirts and jeans .",
"Person B: I advise you not to wear a too casual style when going to an interview . Informal clothes as well as torn jeans and dirty shoes convey the impression that you are not serious about the job , or that you may be casual about your work as you are about your clothes .",
"Person A: It ' s a pity that I cannot afford more expensive clothes .",
"Person B: You misunderstood me . Clothes which are too colorful or too expensive suggest that you do not understand what behavior is appropriate for the job , or that you are snobbish or frivolous .",
"Person A: I know what you mean . I ought to wear right clothes at the right time .",
"Person B: You got it . Only in this way can you gain the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgement .",
