...What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when I cay ‘The dress to success’……the business suits…? However, Dressing for success does not only means your “dress” but it involves everything that your opponent (your client, your partner, your employees or your competitor is going to see and feel when he meets you. What are the things that you notice when u meet someone? It’s not only what he/she is wearing but more importantly it’s the energy that they transmit and the attitude that they reflect. So let’s discuss the secret to the getting dress for success. Rule # 1: Fill yourself up with all the relevant information so that you appear confident and subtle during the meeting Rule # 2: Make sure your head is full of positive thoughts ( try listening to some favorite music or something u enjoy doing to set up your mood). Unless your head is thinking in positive direction you can never exhale positive energy. Rule #3: Match you dressing with the attitude you want to wear….decide what do you want to be suitable candidate for job, caring company, honest/reliable partner or a leader. What you wear should reflect your message, ensuring nobody gets the wrong message. Rule# 4: Remember, ‘If you can’t sell it to yourself, nobody is ever going to buy it!’. When you are ready to go, brief yourself the points you want to discuss at the meeting in front of the mirror. Analyze the energy you are emitting, honestly analyze what impression your audience is going to get. There’s plenty of...

...all means will not make a huge success in the market. However, first lets explain what the term "entrepreneur" means. An entrepreneur is "Someone who exercises initiative by organizing a venture to take benefit of an opportunity and, as the decision maker, decides what, how, and how much of a good or service will be produced"[1]. In other words, it is someone who initiates or starts a business by spotting an opportunity in the market, has a suitable place to run it and by being the decision maker of the business can eventually make a self benefit or profit from it. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. Along with having a suitable place and having creative ideas, there are some risks that come into play as well. Therefore, we can safely say that an entrepreneur is by nature a risk taker. That being said, the risks are neither negligible nor too vigorous. Entrepreneurs like to describe themselves as moderate risk takers. It is to my understanding that entrepreneurship is more like a stereotype, in the sense that most entrepreneurs have the same set of traits or behaviors. According to many recourses, whether it was the internet, or the "Small Business and Entrepreneurship" text book that we study in class, there are mainly four traits that almost all agree on. Entrepreneurs rely on themselves mostly, are highly optimistic, always strive for moderate risk challenges, and they strive for distinction through excellence. Now that I have briefly explained what an entrepreneur...

...pinpoint exactly what it means. Does it have any meaning at all? The question of who the other is might seem useless, because in some way we are all “others” to someone, and everyone else is “other” to us. We can never fully know the other, and even if we strive to do so, “the other” is constantly changing. At the same time, there can be no “I” without a relation to and a concept of the other. We need something that in some degree is different from ourselves to actually constitute a self. When we “other” another group, we point out their perceived weaknesses to make ourselves look stronger or better. It implies a hierarchy, and it serves to keep power where it already lies. Almost everything we say or do consists of othering in some way, whether we may realize it or not. The most commonly used form of this is to other by ones gender. (female vs. male). Simone de Beauvoir wrote a wonderful piece called The Second Sex and in it she states that “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman” . What an orthodox one would imagine this to be. However, this quote alone summarizes human nature. Everything, how one must dress, walk, talk, and even breathe has been set to certain standards that are to be met regardless of what the individual may wish to be. Men have always had the upper hand in every subject. They have it all, it is always the woman competing against herself to please the desires of the men she is surrounded by. Everything comes down to what society perceives...

...Professional Dress Code in the Workplace Rosaura P Bernal EN 306 – Nadia H Morales Park University The first impression is a lasting impression whether it is at the office, a party, a lunch date or an interview. What you wear to these events can be either a positive impression or a negative one. That is why I think it is very necessary to have a professional dress code in the workplace if your place of employment is that of a professional setting such as a bank or even an insurance company. If the professionalism does not show on what the employees are wearing, how are their customers going to accept that they are professionals at what they do. The business could lose the credibility of how they handle their business. Nowadays, offices are more lax with the trending fashions but do not realize that by letting their employees dress as they do now, they may be losing business. Managers should emphasize on the professional dress code so that the business will look more professional, they won’t lose customers or any business relationships they have with vendors and also so that they can avoid any type of controversy or altercations within the company. When new customers come into the place of business of a professional they expect to see the employees dress the part of that qualified, skilled employee who will be taking care of their business. Dressing professionally shows the level of sophistication that they hold and can affect the credibility of the business. I...

...Module 3 Case Assignment BHS 328: Team Building In lots of companies, important decisions regarding the business come from senior level management. While this is a prudent approach to ensure the company’s overall success, many times these decisions directly affect the lower level employees. If the final outcome of the decision is a less than positive one for the employees, often they feel mistreated and unappreciated (Lawson, 2006.) You can keep morale high and empower your employees by involving them in business decisions that directly relate to them. For example, if your company is considering a dress code change, allow your employees to voice their opinions on the new dress code and offer suggestions for portraying a more professional image (Yeargin, 1996.) This does not mean you have to follow every decision your employees make; it simply offers them an outlet to feel a part of the team and a contributor to the company’s overall success. Although they may perform tasks and meet expectations, they do so without that spark of enthusiasm and excitement that brings meaning to what they do and to what your customers see. In corporations across United States, self-directed work teams meet regularly to brainstorm ways to save money and work more efficiently. They take an active role in the goal setting and planning process for the company as well as themselves. By doing so, they are not only becoming empowered, but they are also learning their own capabilities and...

Candidates, who answer questions with two or three sentences, have a greater chance of securing the job ahead of candidates who give one-word answers, i.e. Yes or No Listen carefully, smile, nod and agree where appropriate – show the interviewer that you respect them and you are interested in what they are saying. Jobs are given more often to people the interviewer warms to. Make sure you establish a rapport with the interviewer. Do not discuss your problems – interviewers like and look for problem solvers! Interviewers will look for your negative aspects. Don’t let them find any! You will impress the interviewer if you discuss the tasks of the position rather than the pay. It will also impress the interviewer if you have some questions prepared to ask at the interview. 3 PREPARATION Do some research into the organisation concerned.

Most of her free time was spent alone in her apartment watching television and eating. Sara would refer to her deceased husband Seymore periodically, but up until recently she was in touch with reality. Sara received a phone call advising her that she was selected as a possible contestant on a television show, which seemed to have given her a renewed purpose for her life. She reminisced about the past and happier times; and became obsessed with fitting into the red dress she wore during those times. She thinks about being with her husband and remembered how happy she was at her son’s graduation when she wore the dress. She still had the dress and decided this was what she wants to wear when she went on television; she associated the dress with happiness. Sara started spending more time with her friends now that...

...being evaluated on a number of things including the way they walk, their shoes, clothes, posture, and even physical attractiveness. And if being judged was not enough to make anyone panicky, the fact that the interview could potentially be a changing point in the interviewee’s life is enough to push anyone into a mild psychotic break. The good news is that with proper preparation and some tips and tricks from the industry, anyone can learn how to have a less stressful, more successful interview. What to avoid in an interview There are things that one can do or not do, say or not say in an interview that will ruin any chance of them getting the job. The list of interview blunders is extensive and a person cannot prepare for every single situation that may arise in an interview; however, there are a few key things that experts recommend avoiding at all costs. The list, according to Rayburn with interview.com, includes things such as showing no confidence or failing to dress appropriately. Nobody conducting an interview wants to witness a sloppy dressed person with their hands in their pockets and eyes on the floor walk into their office. This can, and probably will, kill the applicant’s chances of getting a job before a word is uttered. Other things that can blow an interview are showing up late, checking your cell phone, asking for time off, bringing food or drink, or being arrogant during the interview (Rayburn, N.D). If...

...Oscar Wilde "Shorter Prose Pieces" PHRASES AND PHILOSOPHIES FOR THE USE OF THE YOUNG The first duty in life is to be as artificial as possible. What the second duty is no one has as yet discovered. Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attractiveness of others. If the poor only had profiles there would be no difficulty in solving the problem of poverty. Those who see any difference between soul and body have neither. A really well-made buttonhole is the only link between Art and Nature. Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions. The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves. Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance. Dulness is the coming of age of seriousness. In all unimportant matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential. In all important matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential. If one tells the truth one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out. Pleasure is the only thing one should live for. Nothing ages like happiness. It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes. No crime is vulgar, but all vulgarity is crime. Vulgarity is the conduct of others. Only the shallow know themselves. Time is waste of money. One should always be a little improbable. There is a fatality about all good resolutions. They are invariably made too soon. The only...

...Implementing School Uniform Policy in Public Schools Jennifer Phillips Sullivan University Abstract School uniform policies have become an important debate among public schools in the United States. The school district in Long Beach, California was the one of the first public schools to adopt a mandated uniform policy. The success that this school had, along with other schools that followed this path, does not seem to be enough evidence to convince other school leaders that school uniforms has a great impact on the students in behavior and academic success. Arguments among school leaders, parents, and students range from not enough statistical research to prove that the uniforms better the student’s safety and education, to the expense of uniforms compared to every day clothes. The evidence that the public schools have that participate in school uniforms seems to outweigh the petty arguments of a few critics. Keywords: school uniforms, safety, students, faculty, education Implementing School Uniform Policy in Public Schools School uniform policy is an ongoing debate spreading across our country. According to Schatcher (2005), “by the end of 2002 twenty-three percent of all elementary schools had adopted uniforms, and several middle and high schools had followed the pattern” (p.46). Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were both supporters of mandating uniform policies in the public schools. Clinton endorsed the policy through his State of Union address:...

...companies. German business structures Most of the power in German companies is vested in the hands of a few senior managers. Larger companies (AG & GmbH) have a Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat) which appoints the Management Board (Vorstand). The management board is the final decision-maker on policy matters which affect management. However below Vorstand level, companies tend to have a strictly hierarchical approach within which individual's specific roles and responsibilities are tightly defined and compartmentalised. This results in a methodical approach to most business issues where procedures and adherence to well-defined rules are respected. This methodical approach has both good and bad points. On the plus side, everybody knows what is expected of them and has a process to help them achieve clearly identifiable goals. On the other hand, a criticism that is often levelled at German industry as a whole and at German business people individually is that they are inflexible and slow to change to new situations. Management in Germany Managers in Germany are expected to be technically capable in their respective areas and to show...

...Your Next Step to Success Most of the population dreads the task of searching for employment. This is no surprise considering that actually looking, applying, receiving an interview and then successfully getting hired is an extremely time consuming and tiresome task; one that often results in multiple dead ends before actually achieving success.
