For Women - Consider a Makeup Makeover. While moderation is always appropriate, having the right moderation is critical. Appropriately applied makeup can take years off of a person's face and in some people, create results similar to surgical procedures. But it has to be done right. Find a makeup artist. This may end up costing money, but think of it as an investment, not an expense. Properly done makeup should blend nicely and not be noticeable.
Don't Be On Time - Be Early! The absolute last thing that a prospective employer wants is an employee who is late. From the employer's perspective, if you can't be on time for the interview, how will you be on time on a daily basis. Be sure that are at least 10 minutes early for an interview. If you are unfamiliar with an area, make a dry run before your interview. If the interview is in a large office building, go so far as to going into the building and finding the office where the interview is to be conducted. If you have to travel a long distance to the interview, consider getting a hotel room near the interview location the night before. If you are paying for your travel and the interview is out of town, arrive a day early to ensure that you are not the victim of airline or mass transit delays. As part of the be early philosophy - Only reschedule an interview if ABSOLUTELY necessary. If you reschedule for a later point in time, this only allows others to make that first impression first - and take your job. Rescheduling also sends the signal that this job is not your priority. No prospective employer wants someone that does not give their position importance.
Dress For Success! There is no such thing as being overdressed for an interview. While I don't suggest wearing a tuxedo for an interview, I would suggest wearing your best coat and tie. Be sure to shine your shoes and press your shirt, too. Let's say that you are interviewing for a job where the usual dress is blue jeans and polo shirts - still wear a coat and tie. A prospective employer will not think anything if you overdress. If you underdress, they will immediately be turned off.
Remember - Moderation. Whether it is jewelry, makeup, or perfume, moderation is critical - (I would argue that you should not wear perfume or cologne at all). This applies to men as well. Excess of any of these can be distracting. The last thing that a potential employer wants is distraction.
Remember what your mother always said. Mothers are excellent at giving advise while growing up. Listen to them. Sit up straight, trim your hair, cut your nails. You only have one chance to make a first impression. In this case, that first impression may land you a job that lasts for a lifetime - and the initial decision can be made in less than a second.
