Image IS everything! align it resume and all. Does your resume enhance or damage your image?

We are often asked, “Is what I wear at work really matter?” In a word, yes. Although we don’t like to think that appearances and body language matter, the fact is, that people react to, and judge us  based on their perceptions (often at First meeting) .

Research shows that people are more likely to hire, promote and recommend us if we look and behave professionally. In fact, managing our personal image is just like managing a great “brand” – it can be a very effective marketing tool! Your brand also includes your resume as this document “sells” you!

Others make decisions based on their first and on-going impressions of us, so it’s important to get your personal image packaging right. Learning to visually express who you through good wardrobe decisions, right fit, clean and ironed clothes —can positively impact your future. By the same token, presenting a less than professional image can have a negative affect.

Eather Recruitment’s policy is to always present professionally, not just in dress, but in manner.   Don’t ever assume no one is watching  and thinking.

Lastly, in job interviews – you never get a second chance to make a great first impression!!

We are currently updating our on-line communication strategy.During this process we discovered that it’s really not that easy!

Through our recruitment experience we are seeing  more and more employees who are seeking best fit –checking for a values alignment, same work ethos,  and they are not willing to compromise

Many of you check Face Book (FB)… for either family, friends, potential employees and employers – do you always see the best image portrayed?

Implementing a Business Linkedin page and Facebook has made us realise we need to tread carefully and ensure that our precious image and branding is intact.

So what is Social media marketing ?  firstly, there is more time spent on accessing FB than reading emails! It’s a way to communicate directly to our /your clients – taking the power away from Publishers back to us/you!

Due to the massive growth in social media – The lines between personal, professional, business and social are blurred….who you are; what your business values are; how you behave and communicate is now so visible and so accessible to so many.

What is your Brand? – personal/private and business/company culture in total Alignment? do you have conguency? If not, it may lead to credibility issues and your fans left wondering about you…

Is the image you’re portraying – self-serving – social and/or anti-social – Appropriate and inappropriate? Does it pass the NAN test? that is – if my Nan has a look, will she approve?

Happy Social Media everyone!
