In an
interview, the way you dress influences the
interviewer’s first impression of you.
Dressing professionally demonstrates
respect, and also shows the employer that
you take the interview seriously. It can
also boost your own self-confidence during
the interview.
In the
workplace, the way you dress is important
because it affects how others perceive you.
If your clothes are clean, neat and
professional, it shows that you take pride
in yourself and your position. When meeting
with a superior or a client, your
professional dress instills confidence in
them about your abilities. In fact,
according to one survey (careerbuilder.com),
93 percent of executives believe that an
employee’s style of dress at work influences
his or her chances for promotion.
These days,
there is a wide range of acceptable dress in
the workplace, from very casual to formal.
You should familiarize yourself with the
employer’s dress policy, and be observant of
the company’s culture. In both an interview
and in the workplace, it is always best to
err on the side of caution. When in doubt,
select more professional, conservative
clothing.
