Dressing up, dressing down: where is your career headed?

Published: 05 November 2006 Publication History

Abstract

Your professional abilities are advertised in the first two seconds of every interaction. That's right, you have two seconds to make yourself viewed as capable, professional and ready for the next step in your career. It isn't your experience, your education or your accomplishments that people are assessing in those first two seconds -- it's your image.If you are interested in moving your career forward, in advancing your professional opportunities and in simply being more respected, look in your closet. Is your wardrobe setting you up for success? Do you look as confident as you feel? If you want to move up in management, you need to stop dressing like a sys-admin. Join us as we look at one of the simplest and most straight-forward ways to advance your career: how to dress for success.
