That most people rarely think of you. People tend to think most of themselves, you included, me included. Not family, or loved ones of course, but the 95% of the mass of people we see on any particular day.<p>It&#x27;s very easy to see one&#x27;s own shabbyness of clothes or behaviour. Well, because you&#x27;re right there, up close, all the time. Now, do I recall any stains on someone&#x27;s pocket or thread hanging down on a dress. Maybe, but it&#x27;s rare, and I have to be looking quite closely.<p>This isn&#x27;t license to be smelly and gross, not bathing and wearing clothes with great greasy stain all over them. Instead it&#x27;s about the +&#x2F;-5% of wiggle room we get from not being under the great sharp spotlight that it feels like we&#x27;re under because, well, we&#x27;re ourselves.<p>All that said, it&#x27;s a great idea to pay special attention to one&#x27;s self for an interview. Because you&#x27;ll be under great scrutiny at that point, naturally.
