Dress for Success
You only get one chance to make a first impression!
Appearance
Your appearance makes a statement. If you look neat and
clean, the impression is that you take pride in yourself
and your work.
Attitude
Attitude separates the winners from the losers. It can
be more important than experience. Enthusiastic, motivated
people who look
bright
and alert are what employers seek.
Manners
Good manners are important. If you’re courteous and thoughtful, it says that you get along and have a respect for other people.
