Are you enhancing or damaging your image?

We are often asked, “Is what I wear at work really matter?”  In a word, yes. Although we don’t like to think that appearances and body language matter, the fact is that people react to us based on their perceptions. Research shows that people are more likely to hire, promote and recommend us if we look and behave professionally. In fact, managing our personal image is just like managing a great “brand” – it can be a very effective marketing tool!

Others make decisions based on their first and on-going impressions of us, so it’s important to get your personal image packaging right. Learning to visually express who you through good wardrobe decisions, right fit, clean and ironed clothes —can positively impact your future. By the same token, presenting a less than professional image can have a negative affect.

Eather Recruitment and Labour Hire’s policy is to always present professionally, not just in dress, but in manner.   Don’t ever assume no one is watching  and thinking….

Lastly, in job interviews – you never get a second chance to make a great first impression!!
