"More than one-third (35 percent) of employers have sent someone home to change clothes because they were dressed inappropriately" (CareerBuilder.com, 17 June 2008). What in the world! And just last winter, a CareerBuilder.com survey found that 41% of 2,765 employers surveyed stated that people with more professional attire tend to be promoted more often than others in their companies! Numerous studies show that the downturn in corporate productivity does parallel the introduction of "casual Fridays." I'm just saying! It really is an easy fix: The addition or absence of simple key elements, like a collared shirt and jacket, can make or break a professional image. Looks like its time to get dressed and get back to business!
