- … keep your nails manicured (men and women), and your make up simple and professional( women)
- … have a hairstyle that is stylish, flattering, clean and neat, which enhances your image
- … be aware of nonverbal communication: how you stand, smile, gesture, hold your body etc.
- …make sure your breath is not an issue
- … make sure you smell great, but not too much cologne, perfume, or aftershave
Don’t…
- …Dress for mis-perception (tight fitting clothes, revealing blouses, low necklines,etc.)
- …looked unkempt (wrinkled clothing, shirttail hanging out, bra strap or slip showing)
- …dress too casually or trendy (jeans, no socks, current fads)…. even on casual Fridays
- … neglect your hair(no comb-overs, dirty or unkempt hair, bad dye jobs) or nails
- … use too much or too little makeup, or too much perfume or cologne
- … forget to check yourself in a mirror or before meeting with people
These are just a few ideas and basics
