Appearance A person makes their first impression of

someone in three seconds. If you appear unkempt and wrinkled, someone is

going to think that you do sloppy work. If you dress as a professional, your first

impression will be excellent. Regardless of job, there is no excuse for not

being groomed, being neat, practicing good personal hygiene, or using correct or polite behavior.


Appearance Judgment is made during first impression

“If you came into my office to my office to interview for a job and you were dirty and smelled bad, do you think I would hire you to work with me? I don’t think so.”

Very important Take a bath, wash hair, and wash clothes Take pride in self and what you look like Don’t need expensive, name-brand clothes Clothes need to fit, be clean, and not be wrinkled

Watch manners – say “please,” “thank you,” “sir,” and “ma’am” when appropriate!

Allison Lurie Author of THE LANGUAGE OF CLOTHES

Long before I am near enough to talk to you on the street, in a meeting or at a party, you announce your sex, age, and class to me through what you are wearing—and very possibly give me important (or misinformation) as to your occupation, origin, personality, opinions, tastes, sexual desires, and current mood. By the time we meet and converse, we have already spoken to each other in an older and more universal tongue.


Why is appearance important? It determines how people perceive you. May affect peer relationships and productivity. Relates to the career field that you are employed

in.


Display appropriate dress for career field You should be clean and groomed every day Your clothes should be appropriate for your job You should always have correct and polite

behavior.

Behavior affects appearance Do not interrupt others while they are talking Do not carry on side conversations while someone
