Image – Dress for Success (Good Guideline Resources)

  I found these sites while doing some research on how to dress to present a professional image on camera, for a workshop I'm presenting on video profiles for job interviews. I like these sites for the photos / examples they provide to correspond with the typical advice on business attire. It's one thing to say "wear a suit". It's another to actually visualize what "suits" look like.

     Occasionally, an article appears in the news about how terrible it is that an organization restricts its employees' self-expression by imposing strict dress and grooming codes. Because my programs and books focus on professionalism, interpersonal skills and perceptions, I love to see these articles and use them as examples-both pro and con-of how companies communicate and enforce corporate cultural norms.
