With girls if you have oily or messy hair ensure you give it a good comb so that it does not look fashionable but professional. Do not apply strong perfumes or deodorants, wear something subtle but not before entering the room

Dress right:

Another key area which goes into focus with being well groomed is the need to be in proper attire. Wearing business formals is very important with the shirt tucked in and pants well worn i.e not too low not too high. Girls need to fear proper formals too with skirts not to short and clothes not too revealing, not too much of makeup should be worn.

Prepare well:

Being well prepared with your past educational learning’s is also a key area to be focussed on as there might be questions on those grounds as well. Revisiting the past education notes and learning’s would help you cope with these questions.

Read the latest happenings:

Giving mock interviews is definitely helpful as its shows you an angle in which you as a student would not think of. Mock interviews by your mentors at college or your professors could ease you and gauge parameters on which you need to work.
