When you meet someone, there is about a 8-12 second period of time while decisions are being made about who you are and whether you are who you say you are.  The saying “You never have a second chance to make a good first impression”  is true. That impression formed on your first meeting with another person, continues to influence your relationship with the person.  You can overcome decisions that are not favorable to you but it does take a great deal of time and energy.

If you have made a bad first impression and it is important for you to change that impression with the person you met, the first step to do that is to change the consistency in your dressing.  As you are getting dressed each day,evaluate what you have selected to wear.  Decide if the look is consistent with the image you want everyone else to connect with as you go about your day.

If you look is ho-hum one day and fabulous the next day you will continue to confuse the people you meet with your inconsistency. Continue to work toward looking fabulous every day and you gradually will overcome your bad first impression.  It will take time, but your effort will be worth it to you, so continue in that direction.

If you are finding it hard to dress in such a way that you are feeling great about how you look, there are several keys that you will need to be aware of in order to maximize your image effectiveness.  The top key is how to wear your clothing and accessories so they are not keeping your viewer from seeing you. 

If they do not see you they will not be able to hear what you are saying no matter how good the content  and how much they could use the information.   You have directed their attention somewhere else by the way you are dressed.

To have fashion automatically work for you, you need to have the details of how to dress and where to direct your viewers eyes so you can be seen and heard.

Being consistent with the way you present yourself is such an important part of your success that it can impact your relationships with your customers and clients.  If you look fabulous they respond positively and if you look ho hum they are more conservative about being connected with you. 

That inconsistency puts out the question if I have them do work for me what is the standard they will apply to my project  fabulous or ho hum and that usually leads to not placing an order for your goods or services.

Many people are in the process of job hunting, being promoted and starting their own companies.  If you are interested in having a positive outcome from these activities, add these tips to your search and your dressing presentation when being interviewed.

Their are different types of categories for jobs in business and each category of job has a different way of dressing to help the customer of that industry feel comfortable in doing business with someone from that industry. 

When interviewing, your clothing plays the top supporting role and your conduct, interpersonal skills and your ability to articulate intelligent and well thought out responses to questions play the next supporting roles.  Appropriate attire supports your image as a person who takes the interview process seriously and understands the nature of the industry in which you are trying to become employed. 

Be aware that in some industries, customer contact and image presented to the customer is critical.  That is why some companies have dress codes and ask you to comply with their definition of what one of their employees looks like. When you are joining someone’s staff, it’s about their image first and your ability to comply with that  gives you the opportunity to be considered for a position or if you are already employeed there, to be promoted.  Many companies have image standards that have been developed over many years and at sometimes large expense so factor in if you are able to fit into that dress code and standard before you choose to interview with that company.

When interviewing, your attire should be appropriate, but not take center stage.  The way you select your clothing and accesories should always support your face as the place the eye of the person rests when they are speaking to you.  When the interviewer can focus on your face they can really hear what you are saying when you answer the questions they are covering about your skills.  Your opportunity to be seen and heard increases significantly when your face is not in competition with something you are wearing.

Because people so quickly make a decision about if you are credible or not and if they want to interact with you or not, your image and the way you present yourself, is critical to your success.  Remember, I said in an earlier post that you have 12 seconds for someone to make that decision about you and your credibility. 

What are you communicating to others in that time frame?  I’m not sure about you, but, my mom, when I was a child, made sure that I understood that if someone looked funny, sounded funny or was acting funny that I was to stay away from them.  That becomes an unconscious safety issue  that no matter what age you are still applies to the way we interact with others.
