In the interview it was noted that he did not come prepared; He arrived in a hurry. Greeting upon arrival is fine, the way he did it was not appropriate. He was neither well dressed for the occasion nor clean. It was good that he looked at other people's faces while he spoke, although he may have moved his hands too much. He had a good answer to the questions.

Do's (Things he did well):

-Sincerity and honesty: Chris Gardner was honest from the beginning, admitting that he wasn't dressed properly and explaining the situation without lengthy excuses.
-Confidence despite the circumstances: Despite arriving in a disheveled state, he maintained confidence in himself, speaking firmly and directly.
-Positive attitude: Chris didn't focus on the negative but highlighted his perseverance and his ability to learn quickly, like when he mentioned his skill in solving the Rubik's Cube.
-Good stress management: Despite his personal and professional struggles, Chris stayed calm during the interview and responded clearly.
-Respectful and polite: He showed respect to the interviewers, listening carefully and responding in a polite manner.

Don'ts (Things that weren't ideal, but he was still hired):

-Inappropriate attire: He arrived at the interview in dirty work clothes, which is not ideal in a professional setting. However, he addressed it with honesty, which helped him.
-Lack of visual preparation: Although Chris wasn't dressed or prepared to impress with his appearance, his attitude made up for this shortcoming.
-Personal situation: Even though his personal life was in chaos (losing his home, no stable job), he didn't let that dominate the interview.
