Making a good impressionThere are many things we can do to fit into an acceptable lifestyle.
Hygiene: A friend mentioned that when he was interviewing applicants for a job, he would look to see if they had clean fingernails. A lady barber remarked that when a person’s hair was clean and shoes were shined, everything else was usually OK.
Etiquette: It is extremely important today, as many are seeking jobs.
Amy Vanderbilt said that appropriate dress is part of good manners. Clothing need not be expensive, but it should be appropriate for the occasion.
Emily Post stated that clothes not only add to our appearance; they are our appearance. The first impression that we make upon others depends entirely upon what we wear and how we wear it.
