Prospective employers need to make good first impressions just as do prospective employees.
I recollect going for an interview in the ME and being placed in a run-down hotel with bits of tape stuck to the wall. Had there been a flight back to London that day, I'd have taken it.
As it turned out, I flew for them for four years for a bit of a laugh - and more take-home £ than I could get anywhere else at the time.
