And when you do get that interview and come into the office, keep in mind that *everyone* is watching you. I’m a legal secretary, and I am often asked my impression on the person while they were sitting in the waiting room for their interview. I’ve seen everything from nose picking to rearranging underwear to inappropriate cellphone calls, or people treating me like a slave or as if I’m stupid because I’m “just the secretary.” My impression on these people is often requested and taken into consideration, and has cost people jobs. And I’ve seen many attorney reviews typed up where they took a candidate out to lunch and watched them spend their entire lunch chewing on straws and other things like that, not realizing that they’re still being judged.
