Now that you have chosen a path, it's time to make sure that you're dressed to impress for the occasion.
Appearance is key; if you look the part, more than likely you will get the part.
Also, appearance is not just what you are wearing, it is how you are presented, i.e. grooming, hygiene, presentation of attire etc.
To make sure your appearance is impressionable, follow three simple steps:
1. Grooming (This includes hair, face and nails)
Wherever you're going make sure your hair is neat and tidy, and not looking like you just rolled out of bed. Whether it's an interview, training course first day or the first day of your new job, it is a day to appear presentable, not like your on the catwalk rocking the messy-bed-hair style, hoping it will catch on as the latest trend. It won't look cool. :( Also, guys, keep the facial hair well maintained and if possible, to a minimum. No out-in-the-jungle-running-wild beards please :P
Ladies, keep your make-up to a professional standard (in other words keep it subtle; you're not out on the pull on a Friday Night with your girlfriends. Take note from the above image; Angelina's got the right idea (and look how successful she is ;) )
Both guys and girls, should keep their nails clean and short. This way your hands look hygienic and neat, and there's no chance of you crying over a broken nail. But, if you want to keep your nails long, try not to have them looking like witches claws ; it's unprofessional and looks scary :)
2. Personal Hygiene
Keep it FRESH, Keep it CLEAN.
So simple you cannot go wrong :)
Don't be a Smelly Sam or a Smelly Sally :(
3. Professional Attire
A shirt, skirt/trousers and blazer is all you need to get the right look, especially for interviews. ;)
