Oo, That Smell: Advice for Young Job Seekers

Recently, we've been interviewing students for work/study jobs and I have a few worlds of advice for all young job seekers: The best smell is no smell. DO NOT wear cologne, perfume, or the dreaded body spray. Unless you want would-be employers to associate your face with a restroom air freshener or a bad blind date, leave your signature fragrance in the bottle on interview day.

What is driving these youth to douse themselves in scent? I had to open my window immediately after interviewing the last kid who came in.
