Looks Do Matter!
Who hasn’t heard the old adages “Beauty is only skin deep” or “It’s not what’s on the outside but what’s on the inside that counts?” While these sayings may be apt when looking for a soul mate, they are absolutely not true when it comes to networking or job interviews. I know this may seem shallow and superficial, but the stark reality is that appearance does count when making a first impression or finding a job. There is nothing wrong in adopting a “superficial” persona when it comes to job interviews or networking. I know; we scientists work hard to avoid being superficial and shallow, but let’s face it, sometime you just gotta do what you gotta do to get or job or advance your career!
I came across a great article that provides outstanding guidance on this subject. Also, for you fashion-challenged individuals, I found a well-crafted article that describes what job candidates ought not to wear to job interviews.
Until next time….
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!
