Like it or not the way you dress can affect a job promotion and can help if you want career change or better job.

There are many places where a code of dress is expected, such as church, the opera, the theatre, better restaurants and many other places. The workplace is just one of many and whether you like it or not, appropriate dress is what can help you keep or get a job. Many Internet sites, books and people that offer advice on interviews and getting that job, will emphasize the importance of nice appropriate dress and the impact it can have when you wear something that stands out from the crowd.

Clothes do make the person. This is one of the old sayings that really does come true. What does it mean? It means that people judge you by the clothes you wear. This is especially true in the workplace, but it is also true for everyday life.

Nowadays many companies have a dress policy in place to keep the appearances at work up. Reasons why companies have dress policies are varied.

Here are couple.

One of the biggest reasons for companies to require nice appropriate dress their office, or at least in the area that the customer will see, it is important that their employees make a good first impression. First impressions are very much guided by what you are wearing, your facial impressions and body posture. If your customer see you working at your desks, it is important that you are dressed appropriately. For most workplaces this means a dress shirt and smart dress pants or polo shirt and casual dress pants. In some instances wearing a suit and tie. It will depend on the company. For women the equivalent style of the clothing will be expected.

Imagine what would happen if a customer came into your company and you wore dirty, spotty, old and ripped clothes. That doesn’t make a good impression, does it? Do you think the customer will want to do business with you? Or if they do will they come back again. Not likely.

Another reason companies and employers would judge your appearance is professionalism. Professionalism in the workplace includes good appropriate dress, being a good employee, doing your job right and being polite and respectful to your boss and colleagues in your workplace.

This doesn’t just apply to those who work in offices. This also to tradesmen, technicians, and shop assistant as well. If you have a clean tidy appearance goes along way.

So before you walk out the door in the morning, check yourself in the mirror and ask “Would I like to do business with a person dressed like that?”

Be the person you would like to deal with.

Have a marvellous day
