Dress like you mean Business!!

Do you really want the job? Well think seriously about dressing, first impressions really count. We don’t get a second chance to make a really good first impression.

I don’t know how many times I have talked to people on the street, meetings or at social functions where I was asked if they knew who was hiring, and they looked a mess!

If you’re handing out our résumés to potential employers it is important to present yourself professionally as it relates to your industry. I encourage my workshop participants to dress as if they are looking for work while IN the workshop. They never know then they might run into an employer who may be looking for some one with their skills. The last thing you want to do is meet a hiring manager who is dressed for work, while you’re caught wearing your shorts, sandals, t-shirts, tattoo’s showing and red nail polish from the night before.

You snooze you loose.. Be on the ball and ready for work.

At Chilliwack Employment Services we, as facilitators, can help you with your presentation including hair cuts, clothes or just advice about what to wear for a job search.

Dress up, be professional and you will be treated differently.
