"Nothing Succeeds Like the Appearance of Success"


Hey everyone! I am back to blogging after quite some time :D Anyways, for this post, I will like to address the issue on dressing for success. Does looking good prove to be an intangible asset?
Is it a personification of yourself to others around you? Or is it simply how you want to portray your true self as?

Well, personally I believe that our appearance will be something that everyone will judge on since it is something that is upfront and easy to spot. People who are judgmental always tend to perceive others judging from their behavior, personality and most importantly, their outfit. In the 21st century, a modern era, our societies tend to be biased against looks and appearances. if you show a stunning, beautiful and attractive lady compared to an average, nerdy and sloppy woman, a male employer will pick the former as his employee without any hesitation. The male employer obviously has his judgments solely based on appearances and not even the qualifications of his employees.

'Just months ago, you could get your foot in the door of many an employment office sporting a tattered sneaker. Talent was king.

But job hunting now has become a buyer's market.

For many employers, a crisp and businesslike appearance again is an expectation.'

A few verses that I had obtained from an article titled:

"Dressing for success for job interview more vital than ever"


I truly agree with this statement to a certain extent but I feel that we cannot assume that everyone has the same views and perspectives about this issue. I feel that some are really fair in what they believe in. Some in our society have the right mentality about judging people and they judge these people correctly. Assumptions should never be made especially if one is not 100% sure.

In light of the controversy surrounding this issue, should people be judged by their
appearance?

No Way! I am strongly against be judged and so I do not see the reason why others have to judge people. They are just living on false information and not entirely what they feel may be true in anyway. These made-up stories might cause gossips amongst some and many other unnecessary problems might stir up simply due to a lack of accurate information. On the same note, those who are applying for job offers and interview programmes ought to dress appropriately as well, not just clad in some shorts and a tank top.

To summarize my sentiments briefly, everyone has a part to play in reflecting or rather portraying a proper and clear image of yourself so that others will not judge us so often. We should maintain a certain level of standards and expectations and we should live up to it. Just remember, the lasting impression is not always something that is good. It is all in the perceptions of people who notice and comprehend.
