I'm doing my end of the day cleaning after everyone is gone and thinking about my interview tomorrow right after closing time. It occurred to me that having a perfectly clean home may not be the best first impression.
When my families pick up, there's typically a few toys here and there, dishes in the sink, I may be sweeping the floor, etc. You know, lived in. Not dirty, It just looks like I've spent the day with 6 toddlers.
So, do you ladies have everything tidy and in place when you have an interview right after work? Or do you not sweat the random toys that need to be put away or the few dishes in the sink? Do you feel parents have a preference one way or another?
And if you're a parent going to an interview, would you rather see the home as it truly is at the end of a normal day? Or do you want to see it at its best?
I've always had fantastic luck with interviews. There's only been 2 that didn't enroll that I can remember. And one was by my choice. And my house has been in both conditions, sometimes perfect, sometimes a little messy because my last kids had just left.
