APPEARANCE--WORK ETHIC

APPEARANCE

 Appearance deals with every aspect of how we perceive an individual. We form opinions about people based on that individual's appearance, smell, cleanliness, emails, and mannerisms. Appearance defines how we treat others or are treated by others. Appearance has a significant impact on your success in the workplace. Good grooming and appropriate dress inspire customer confidence and help to create a pleasant work environment for all. In the workplace looking the part is the key aspect of most forms of employment. Because of our actions and appearances others may form a lasting and sometimes detrimental impression of us.

By not looking your best at an interview may cause you a hard time convincing the hiring manager you are right for the job.

  An email appearance should look like a formal communication with a greeting, a closing, and a signature file that tells who you are, your title, department, work address, and telephone number. Along with email appearance is also having good email etiquette. The reasons for email etiquette are because of professionalism; it will show that your company conveys a professional image. The efficiency of the email is more effective. Also, it will help protect you from sending something that was unprofessional.

                PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:

Physical appearance can affect one's job prospects, promotion opportunities, and relative income. Keep in mind that personal hygiene is important no matter what job is being done. Not only does it prevent growth of bacteria and other organisms on the skin, but its a courtesy to co-workers, students, and everybody you might come in contact with.

                

There is no excuse for not being groomed, neat, practicing good personal hygiene or using correct or polite behavior. Remember your clothes, manners, and mannerisms are all on display. Within the first 60 seconds your self-confidence, and ability to present yourself is assessed, don't let your appearance hinder your capability to promote yourself accurately.
