Old HR lady, rejected me as soon as I entered for the interview. She scholded me and spend about 2 hours teaching me how to act at an interview. On the same after noon I had 2 other job interviews, I got both jobs and I got to choose my "dream" job that ended up sucking and I should have taken the other with bigger pay. (But hey that HR lady really helped me a lot even if she did not have to I was rejected about 15-20 times at interviews before I met her).
May I know, what triggered her about your interview appearance?
How I was dressed (a non tailored suit), body language, handshake, and voice (low volume and fast). Over all looking like an insecure guy trying too hard.
She told me to change the suit for a well suiting more sporty attire I feel comfy in. How introduce myself (we practiced having an elevator pitch prepared) and how to have a "bigger" precense. I'm already quite tall and have a big frame (due to swimming for years as a kid) and she told me how to use my body and body language to look more competent and have a more commanding but friendly precense. To talk slow and clear etc. (All her tips not only helped me in the working world but also in real life as well).
