In the world of fashion first impressions is everything and will make or break how far you make it in the industry. I am a firm believer of inside beauty but I work in an area where image is majorly important.
Sometimes your first impression will be your last so it is crucial to make it the best it can possibly be. I’ve encountered this challenge of making the first time right while interviewing for various internships. You never know what your competition is bringing to the table so I always make sure I bring my “A” game with a “can do” attitude. Besides that my outer appearance plays a huge part on the impact I will make on my potential employers. In my case presenting myself as fashion forward is expected, but for those who may not be just simply appearing neat and sleek always seals the deal as well.
Some would probably object that appearance matters, but we must recognize that our firsts thoughts of others develop when we lay our eyes upon them before any words are exchanged. It isn’t right to judge prematurely but I do feel we naturally do so at times.
Opinions are then formed and sometimes can be hard to change even with a shining personality. So when I had the opportunity to interview for my dream position I made sure that I not only knew my resume inside and out, but I also looked like I OWNED the position already. If you look it, talk it, and breathe it you’ll BE it in no time!
