Whether spending your day at your dream job, or maybe just an “in between” job, or even an internship; whatever your role, as the saying goes – “dress for success.” As a PR practitioner you are constantly representing someone- your firm, your client(s) and yourself. According to CareerBuilder.com (by way of CNN) the following are four tips for dressing professionally on the job.
• Stock your closet -- Start with the versatile basics, such as a pair of black pants, a dark pant suit, some button-down collared shirts and a classic pair of dark shoes. Once you have the staples, you can continue to build your wardrobe to give you plenty of professional options.
• Keep it neat and clean -- Make sure your pants, shirts and other clothes are ironed, stain-free and in good condition. When your clothes look sloppy, so do you.
• Steer clear of bar attire -- Don't mistake the office for your local watering hole. Leave the slinky shirts, tight pants and cut off t-shirts at home.
• Look the part -- Have a client presentation or a meeting with the CEO? Dress for the part, making sure you choose appropriate articles of clothing for your role.
