Of course, the main criteria in deciding whether to hire a new employee or increase an employee are the professionalism, knowledge and skills that he demonstrates. But there are a number of professions for which appearance is an important factor, and an increase may not take place if the applicant looks unpresentable, not matching the desired position. The main news today for applicants: you need to look decent. What mistakes should be avoided so as not to be rejected by the employer?
Manicure. Almost always pay attention to the hands. Peeling nail polish, too long, predatory nails - this is what can create a repulsive impression. Accuracy, discreet tones, grooming - this is what the hands of a serious applicant should demonstrate.
Hairstyle, makeup. Unkempt hair, lack of haircuts or bad coloring - this can thoroughly ruin the employee’s reputation. As for makeup, you need to remember that the office is not a place for a catchy make-up, restraint is much higher.
Skirt too short. A short skirt in a modern office is not comme il faut. An employee who allows herself the extreme length of a skirt does not create any serious impression, so she is unlikely to count on an increase. It is better to choose a length so that the skirt covers your knees when you are sitting.
Tattoo, piercing. Obviously, elements of youth culture are not perceived very positively by the older generation, which for the most part represents the leadership team. Therefore, if you already have a tattoo, it is better to choose such clothes, thanks to which the pattern will not be visible. The same applies to piercings, but if there is no way to hide the piercing, alas, in the office it will have to be removed. But if you are a creative person, and appearance is a reflection of your extraordinary nature, then, studying newspapers when looking for recruitment announcements, do not forget to collect the maximum amount of dress code information accepted in the company where you would like to work. Recently, an increasing number of companies allow representatives of creative professions not to follow the dress code.
Unsuitable clothing. Clothing that is not matched exactly to the size creates a feeling of sloppiness and neglect. And this is unacceptable for a person striving for career heights.
Well-groomed and style are signs of a successful person, therefore, in order to become successful, you just need to closely monitor your appearance.
