Answer to Problem 1CA

Solution:

It is very important to wear an appropriate dress when going for an interview. If it is another country, an applicant can find information relating to dress code by asking from people who have been to the country, by observing the business class in the country and also by using the web.

Explanation of Solution

First impression is very important in a job interview. Therefore, the dress an applicant wears for an interview is very important. This is significant when an applicant goes for an interview in another country; in this case it is South Africa.

When preparing for a South African job interview, an applicant can first ask friends and relatives who have been to South Africa and who knows their culture. Also when the applicant goes to the country, he/she can observe business people/ working people and their dress code and appearance.

The web can also be used to search the culture and the business environment of South Africa in order to find a proper dress code. Also applicants need to think about the nature of the job and the culture of the company applying for. For example, an American organization operating from South African may have American culture within the company and may prefer formal English attire.
