Dress For Success

You are what you wear. Like it or not, books are judged by their cover. Instead of being idealistic lets be realistic. First impressions are the most important ones. Take the time to look your best and others will notice. You never know when a big opportunity might head your way, so be ready for it and dress to impress.

A good appearance does go a long way as long as you don’t over do it of course. Personally speaking, I’ve gone overdressed at job interviews and looked completely out of place and like I was too over-qualified. It worked against my favor, as the employer figured I’d only work there for a while and then leave.

It’s not just about your clothing but your personality. With that being said, if you look good you’ll feel good so they do go hand in hand.

it doesnt hurt to show a bit of cleavage too, if youre female of course.

dressing for success doesnt necessarily mean showing more skin.

That depends largely on the kind of job youre seeking. Ive personally worked my way up dressing above average sexy and have got the checks to prove it.

yo whatever it takes to get the job done. after you get the job it doesnt matter what you did to get it.

Very well said. There’s never a “dress down” policy during interviews. Dress to impress!
