Dressing for An Interview

Does dressing up help? Usually when meeting someone for the first time, first impressions are important especially for a job interview. Most of the time in an job interview it is already decided within the few minutes they have seen you, if you will be hired or not. Confused? Well think about it, sometimes your personality, and characteristics and your presentation speak well more then your qualifications. Most of the time you only qualify one third of the required position duties, but because of the attitude you bring to the table has heavy impact on the decision-making. Best thing, well first thing is to carry a nice genuine smile, I say genuine because you don’t want to the interviewers looking past that smile, secondly when meeting and greeting have a nice firm handshake and it would not hurt to look directly into the persons eyes to show you are serious and content. Lastly the way you dress may affect your job, salary, and overall work environment. So try to give a nice warm feeling when meeting your interviewers.

As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow.
