90-Second Summary
Find Your Style
When people first respond to you, they respond to your
attitude—the unspoken message you project. Part of that
message is your style. To make a great first impression,
develop an individual style that is an expression of inde-
pendence and confidence.
• An effective professional style balances
approachability with authority.
• Decide on an image you want to project. Ask yourself:
What personality style do I have? What do I want
my clothing to communicate to others about my
strengths and my personality? Does my current
wardrobe do this?
• Dress for the job you want—not the job you have.
• Remember, when you are poorly dressed, people
notice your clothing; when you are perfectly dressed,
they notice you.
• If you decide you want to project a different image,
keep experimenting and changing until you find a look
that works for you.
