When people talk about appearances in a corporate setting the first thing that comes to mind is people dressed up in formal suits and shirts, but that’s not it. In the corporate world, appearances go far beyond just clothing, it includes but is not limited to how you behave with your peers and superiors alike, how one deals with abnormal situations in day to day work life, how you treat others who are below you in the organisational hierarchy. A professional appearance is vital not only in interviews but also in internal and external meetings, and especially when dealing with clients in person. You only get one chance to create a first impression, this applies to both you and the firm you represent.
