Look and dressing are just the finishing touches to the diamond values of abilities, knowledge, education, behaviour - actions/deeds to develop a personality which has an impact on career and self life.
I work in a technology company where we do not care the appearance of the person, or how he dresses but of course proper behavior is expected..We care the skills he/she has and the demonstrates abilities to succeed in the role we offer.. In the customer facing environments such as Banks, Sales positions proper dressing, and well mannered behavior are important alongwith the compentencies of the job requirements...At any rate, dressing, looks comes next to education and ability to do the job...
Yes it does , especially in executive or mid management assignment, employers seek for :
First : Experience
Second : Personality
Third : Education and Qualification
Prestigious looking dressing and beauty reflect "personality" with all employers and has positive effect.
From my point of view I think they are affecting the career building as it they're the first thing every one can see.
Yes. sure
it can be real in most of the companies
but i beleive that it depends on the place and position
you may have and also where you are working
and i beleive that education , abilities & skills are very important as well too
I agree that it depends on the place and position you have and where you are working. In fact when I was an external consultant in a facility management company a collegue at the finance department approached me after a couple of months and said that I had an advantage being a sweet Norwegian girl (this was in a Swedish company). I felt as I had something that he couldn´t compete with although my theoretical merits were very good and that I had done a very responsible projectwork in a short period. Unfourtunatly some persons in companies use arguments like that because they often are grey and dull.
Abilities and skills are core strengths in progressive and professional organization conforming to best HR practices, while physical traits are appreciated in less progress, concentrated and sole proprietorship /small scale companies.
