Smokin’ Up a Storm: Clothing, Smokers, and the Job Interview
Page 2
And if you do smoke with your interview clothes on, do so outside only! NOT in the car before the interview and NOT while going straight home afterwards. Wait until you are home and strip naked (seriously), put all these clothes in your “smoke-free zone.” Only then can you smoke freely. And only then do your shopping, visiting, etc. If you don’t, you’ll reek of smoke and will have to dry clean after each and every interview.
By keeping all clothes away from the tobacco smell and smoking outside, you reduce most (but not all) of the smoke odor. This will give you one more edge over non-smokers. And this may help you get that job!
