Dressing Your Way Up

Do you dress for the job you have – or the job you want?

If you’re afraid to dress up a notch at work – don’t be. Sure, you might look like you’re eager for a promotion – but according to life coach Dr. Dawn Chandler – there’s no real harm in that. Looking a little more polished than your peers can make you stand out a bit and can even have a positive effect on your productivity and determination. It is important to keep it in context of your industry – and not to overdo it.

For interviews you’re better off dressing for the position you’re applying for – and not the one you wish was available. Coming across as overqualified could actually hurt your chances of landing the job.
