Sounds like I would never get a job with one of your clients, could be why I am having problems at Standard bank today, to many smartly dressed idiots. don't mind me I should have taken my medication today.

lol - Please don't think that this is all our clients. This one had this opinion.

That old saying of "Don't judge a book by it's cover" comes to mind.

That's fine and well when you're buying cars. The only person who's going to lose on the deal is the sales rep who makes the mistake of judging.

But ultimately, when you're "selling" yourself, there can only be one loser if the person doing the picking sees the cover as an issue. There is no upside to under-dressing for the occasion. Sure, you can cope and compensate, but imagine how impressive it might have been if that inner light shone through anyway, but off a neutral or even positive first impression.

Yes first impressions count a lot. I have spoken to our consultants about this and it is a fact of life that when they interview this is the case, especially that they interview lots of people in a day. So I suppose the moral of the story is to dress to impress. There is no reason not to. Our rule is the same if they go out to see a client, they must dress properly. Imagine what the client would think of us if our girls arrived in beach clothes or unprofessionally dressed. If you want to act professional it starts with the dress.
