Style Tips

Dress for the job I want, not the job I have

 

Visual appearance accounts for 55% of communication, and most recruiters form an impression of you within the first 20 seconds of an interview. While it's obvious that your skills will land you an interview, your style of dress can have a real impact on the impression you make. In professional strategy, there is one skill that is less talked about than the others: dress strategy.

 

 

In her book "The Power Dressing", Tatiana Haen writes "the Habit does not make the monk but allows to enter the monastery". This is exactly the idea that we should remember! Our dressing room can allow us to enter the monastery of our dreams. In her book, the author explains that there is a direct correlation between neat style and professional success. There is even an economic discipline called "Pulchronomics", initiated by Daniel S. Hamermesh, a professor of economics, which demonstrates the correlation between physical presentation and professional success.

 

Tatiana Haen shows that in the United States, looks are used as a real soft skill, whereas in France we have a more traditional vision of skills, and we tend to minimize the role of clothing style. However, the new reality of the working world presents us with an environment in which personality counts more and more. Recruiters want to work with people who have something special, something unique, who will bring more than just skills. And what better way to give a glimpse of one's personality than through one's clothing style?

 

Your dressing room is your ally: You must understand that you can really use your dressing room to your advantage, by playing with the panel of cuts and colors that exist, to put yourself forward, to find charisma and confidence in your clothes. Make your dressing room an ally, by creating a wardrobe that you like!
