Dressing for success
Saturday, January 24, 2009



With regards to the issue of "Dressing for success", I personally feel that a person can be judge by his or her apperance to a certain extent. However, we must not be too dependent by this way of judging of people, because, it may not be true in all cases.

It is undoubtly true that your way of dreesing and apperance reflects about your character. That is the reason of why people should take pride in dressing smartly for a job interview, as first impression to the employer is important. It shows your attitude. And believe it or not, it is definitely those who are positive and receptive that do not fail to to impress their emplopyers, even in trems of dressing. So, take for instance, if the employer is considering two person with equal level of education, standard and experience, for only a place in the company, of course the next thing he will take into consideration will be your attitude and character. What is written in your portfolio may or may not be true, as he does not know you well, but he will roughly know from the first impression you gave during the job interview.

If you are neatly dress for work, it also exhibit a spirit of exellence in your work, diligent and positive in learning new things. Also, you started your day well by giving yourself a fresh look, to be prepared for a new day. So, why not to make an effort in maintaining your appereance, afterall it is your own apperance.

However, I think is is absolutely intolerable to discriminate against employees because of their weight and height or physical characteristics. We can be picky about the way of dressing, but if people are born to be of that particular height or weight, then they should be treated equally as the rest. Unlike dressing, it is not someting that they can take control of or have a choice. If the employees are working hard and doing their jobs with responsibility, then I don't see why they should be hold against prejudice. Height and weight factors should not affect the wages of the employees.

It was also stated in the article that, Darlene Jespersen, a former casino bartender at Harrah's Entertainment, sued her Reno-based employer after she was fired for not wearing makeup. She had worked there for 20 years and had not regularly worn makeup. I think, firing an employee of not wearing make-up it far too off a bit harsh, though Jespersen still had her job back. Perhaps, in society 20 years ago, people are neither too pompous nor suggestive in their dressing at work. This could be the reason to the fact that Darlene Jespersen does not have the tendency of being perticular in her appearance and the make-up stuff. It is not wrong for employers to ensure all their employees have a professional and well-groomed appearance when they come into contact with the public, but it shouldn't be a forceful thing.
