It may not be fair, but on average others will make 16 assumptions about you in the first few seconds of a meeting, based on what they see, sense & hear. Your image is an external advert of what people perceive is the real you. Lasting first impressions are established within 4 minutes. If you get it wrong, it can take meeting up to 20 more people to correct. When you dress for a job interview or business, everything you wear must also say business. So your watch, jewellery, briefcase, wallet, MP3, CD players, cell phones & personal electronic organizers should look & sound professional. eg: you do not want your cell phone blaring out 'Sweet Child of Mine' in the middle of a meeting if you forget to turn it off before hand. Appearance & sound must be kept to fit a business dress code. Dres
