                                                        DRESS FOR SUCCE$$

Dressing is important especially for a job interview because your attire or suit can determine whether you get the job or not. You shouldn't dress for the position you have, you should dress for the position you want. How you dress is how people look at you because remember, you're always being judged. It's psychology of perception. People perceive you to be exactly how you present yourself. So, if being successful is important to you,then you should act and look successful. People will unfortunately judge you on how you look, and if you dress like you are successful, people will think you are.  Your first impression is your best impression. You never know who you are going to meet, and you always want to make a good first impression. It's also about appearance and what it can bring to the company or wherever you work. When you dress confidently that means: neat, also appropriate colors (for example, red is not a good color to wear for an interview). Body parts that should be covered are going to have to be covered. It also means that you dress in a way that flatters your figure without being too revealing.

Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear.  If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...

DEI & The Workplace

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), is a broad term that covers the issues of equality in the United States. It existed throughout the years, trying to advocate for equality amongst individuals regardless of their race, sex, or religion.
