Skirt or slacks? Tights or bare legs? Sandals or pumps? These are the questions you might find yourself asking each morning as you select work attire. Too many people have forgotten why proper business attire is important. The major reason why dressing in proper business attire is important for every business professional is because it presents a visual image and sends a message that the employees are professional. Another reason why dressing in proper business attire is important in the business world is because you never know when you will be required to meet with someone from outside your company. Your image to this outsider will be the image remembered of your company. Whatever else we think about dressing for success, we need to be reminded that first impressions are everything, and we only get one chance to make a positive first impression. Whether your place of work is strict or relaxed, there is a certain level of refinement that should always be maintained and thi...

So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! 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...

            It’s often been stated that clothes make a person. Our choice of clothing carries out a certain message to people around us. For example, if one wears yoga pants to their work place, it’s not only unethical, but it also shows the people around the person that the said person isn’t serious about their job. Now, one can argue that it’s about the comfort level and that it shouldn’t determine how hard a person works, however, unfortunately we live in a society that judges us based on our physical appearance more than anything. No matter how talented or experienced you are, those two things will not always be factored in to get you the job you desire. There’s more to just being smart at your job. One who is dressed in suit and tie is more likely to be taken seriously when compared to someone dressed in a T-shirt. Our  appearance often  speaks for us, it tells those around us who we are, and how we are as a pers...

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...
