Presentation
Presentation is not just about your clothes and grooming, but also your manner, body language, voice, the language you use, and your overall approach.
Effective presentation means looking the part: dressing appropriately for the job with the organisation and the industry, and presenting yourself in a professional manner.
Appearance does affect people's impressions of you, so make sure, as far as you're able, that your appearance is something that's working for you rather than against you.
• Clothes must be appropriate to the type of job and the culture and standards of the organisation
• When in doubt, play it safe and go for more classic or conservative styles and colours
• Avoid extremes of appearance or fashion statements
• Clothes should be clean, neat, well-pressed and brushed
• Shoes should be smart and well-polished
• Accessories such as bags and briefcases should also be smart, clean and professional looking
• Jewellery should be classic and understated (It's usually best to leave the nose stud at home)
• Make-up must be appropriate for the position, organisation or industry, but in general, should be understated
• Avoid overpowering perfume, cologne or after-shave
• Hair should be clean, neat and add to your professional image
• Nails should be clean and neat. Any varnish should be unchipped and subtle in colour
