Sunglasses indoors don't work for a job interview. Instead of looking cute, you look shady and pretentious.

Have a look at yourself in a mirror before you leave the house for the interview. Do you look as though you slept in your car last night? If so, try a quick shave and run an iron over you clothes to help you impress at your interview.
