First Impressions

You only have one chance to make a good first impression! A person will size you up in a matter of 15 seconds as you walk into the room! What you wear says a whole lot about who you are, or at least who you are presenting yourself to be. That's why what you wear to a job interview is important.

Whether you like it or not, the first impression that you make is visual. This means paying attention to every little detail - from head to toe - is important.

Appearance can make the difference in getting or not getting a job. Correct appearance can be your competitive advantage over someone else.

With first impressions, there is no erase button so make certain that the first impression is a positive one. Potential employers size you up based on how you look and how you carry yourself. So, pick the package that says what you want the employer to think: "This person cares about how they look. This person is serious about finding a job."
