for foreigners and locals alike

what to wear?

uniformity is paramount

Plain black suit, white shirt, black bag, black shoes, tie that's any color other than black or white

always knock three times on the interviewer's door

two knocks is for checking if a toilet cubicle is vacant

Occupied

say "excuse me," bow and walk to the left side of the chair

Make sure you're bowing correctly

bend forward from the hips with a straight back

30 degrees upon entering, and 45 degrees when you leave

sit straight and don't lean back in your chair

men, put one hand on each knee - women, keep them in your lap

and never, ever be late.

or you may as well have stayed home
