In the following context:
The first time you meet someone you automatically have an opinion of them. And this is probably something to do with their clothes, their eyes, their smile, or, perhaps, their personality. When you meet someone, you automatically like them, dislike them, or you’re not sure about them. That’s why it’s very important, when you go for a job interview, to consider all the things I’ve mentioned before, especially clothes.
is the Present Perfect Tense the only possible choice (for the phrase in bold)? Could it be substituted by the Past Simple (all the things I mentioned before)? If so, will it change the sense a lot?
Looking forward to your answer at your earliest convenience.;-)
