DRESS TO IMPRESS: A GUIDE
Use your
appearance as a professional tool in any
kind of
interview... either its a work place or a
fashion arena!
A
significant part of a hiring decision is
based on nonverbal elements in an interview--handshake,
eye contact, body language, posture,
listening skills, clothing, grooming and
accessories. Don’t overlook the power of a
good first impression. People make amazing
assumptions about your professional
credibility and potential performance based
upon your appearance during a first meeting.
It's very difficult to overcome a poor first
impression, regardless of your knowledge or
expertise.
To be successful, research and practice for
the interview and carefully plan the
professional image you want to project. If
you come to an interview dressed
professionally, you will feel a sense of
confidence and others will sense your
self-assurance. Many employers interpret
your appearance in terms of what you know
about the world around you and what
attention you give to detail.
