A recent article I read on about.com mentioned that according to Kim Zoller at Image Dynamics, 55% of another person's perception of you is based on how you look. Believe it or not this is an issue; yes I know most of us know how to dress, but you’d be surprised at what individuals consider business professional or business casual. I get to attend various job fairs and they are fully loaded with fashion faux pas. Remember to always dress for success and dress for the role you want to eventually attain.

            Here are some tips Kim suggests:

Women's Interview Attire

• Solid color, conservative suit
• Coordinated blouse
• Moderate shoes
• Limited jewelry
• Neat, professional hairstyle
• Tan or light hosiery
• Sparse make-up & perfume
• Manicured nails
• Portfolio or briefcase

Men's Interview Attire

• Solid color, conservative suit
• White long sleeve shirt
• Conservative tie
• Dark socks, professional shoes
• Very limited jewelry
• Neat, professional hairstyle
• Go easy on the aftershave
• Neatly trimmed nails
• Portfolio or briefcase

You can use the above tips as your everyday work attire. So leave the tight, short skirts and sweat wear for other activities and step into your success potential!!

Until next time,
