Look The Part:
Dress For Success
By Gabriel O.Odang
Y
ou need to discipline yourself to look
the part. Remember, “birds of a feather
flock together.”When it comes to presen-
tation, this means that people like to promote
others who look like them. Your bosses are
very sensitive to the appearance of their staff.
They like to promote people who they are
proud to introduce to their friends and col-
leagues. Be sure to dress and groom in such
a way that your boss would be proud to take
you out for lunch and introduce you to others
as a representative of his or her company.
Each morning before you go to work,
look in the mirror and ask yourself,” Do
I look like one of the top people in
my field?”If you don’t, go back and
change - and keep changing until
you look like one of the top people in
your business.
Learn how to dress for success.
Read books and articles, or ask
others for advice. Look at the most
successful people in your business
and dress the way they do. Dress
for the job two levels above your
current job. Remember, 95 per
cent of the first impression you
make on other people will be
determined by your dressing
and grooming. Make sure
that first impression and then
second and third impression
are consistent with the mes-
sage you want to send.
