When asked directly, "Does clothing affect whether you pass or fail?", the answer was...

In job interviews at Umemoto , there are few opportunities to truly express yourself within the limited time, so I think clothing can be a powerful tool to make a positive impression without relying on words. Paying attention to your hairstyle is also important.
Nagai: I think as long as you follow the basics, it won't be a reason to lose points. However, I think that if what you said in the interview matches your attire, it will make a stronger impression. Accessories like ties, shoes, and glasses are also important because the difference is easily noticeable. I can't say for sure that clothing has no bearing on whether you pass or fail.
