APPEARANCE
LOOKING THE PART
“People who work need to consider how they look.
“Appearance does count and how you appear to others can make or break a job opportunity or your success on the job. Appearance counts all the time––from the job application, to the interview, to every day on the job.
“The key is to find a style that fits your particular job and type of work, makes you and others comfortable, and makes a positive statement about you.
“Your employer’s goal is to have the employees project a favorable image; your goal is to represent the employer and yourself in a favorable way. With care and planning, you can achieve both goals with style and satisfaction.”

ATTITUDE
WILLINGNESS TO DO THE JOB
“Professionalism consists of certain attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors sometimes known collectively as “virtue” or “good character.” Attitudes and behaviors have two things in common. First, both are produced by our beliefs. Second, we have the power to choose our attitudes and behaviors.”
