You've now left university and got your first real job with a great company. Or you are returning to the work place after a period of absence. Your clothes will say a lot about you. Getting it right is very important. Skinny jeans, converse trainers, baggy jumpers, midi tops now set a side for the weekend. Now its time to face the world as a business professional.
As you look into your wardrobe, panic strikes across your face. The contents do not resemble office wear. Then your eyes are drawn to the your reflection in the mirror. Yikes, time for a trip to the hairdresser. A good haircut is just as important as what you put on your body.
It's true that dressing a certain way is important in business as it ensures that we look professional and helps us to conduct ourselves in the correct manner. Your manager and colleagues will respect you. If you are in a client facing role even more important that you are well presented. First impressions are lasting impressions, and you don't get a second chance to make an impression.
Most importantly dress for your body shape and personality. Don't be swayed by the glossy magazines, as often they do not reflect you as a person. Too tight or ill fitting clothes will give the wrong impression. Spending endless amounts on clothes for work is also something that you shouldn't even consider. A smart person knows when to shop and where to get those bargains. Looking professional on a lemonade budget can be achieved.
Cant forget the make-up. Lashing of thick foundation and eyeshadow should be left for a night out. Fresh looking face with a hint of make is very important as your outfit. A recent survey by carried out by beauty site www.escentual.com, more than two thirds of British bosses said they would be less likely to employ a female applicant if she didn't wear makeup to the interview
