Dotty Scott shares practical advice on dressing for the occasion and representing yourself well online and offline. She tells the story of a plumber who showed up in a suit to illustrate why matching your appearance to your role matters.
Well, we'd like to think that they're tried and true. When you go and you, you're really getting ready to go out or to go online, the first thing that most people will look at, especially if you're in person, will see how you're dressed, what you're wearing, if you're dressed appropriately for the occasion. I remember being at a Chamber of Commerce meeting, and I saw this guy come in, and I knew I knew him, but it's like, where did I ever meet him? He was, he was a plumber who had come to my home to fix something, and we met through the chamber. But when he showed up in a suit and tie Even though that's appropriate for some people in business, it wasn't appropriate for him. So I, I say represent who you are on and offline. If you're a plumber, then it's okay to dress like a plumber unless you're looking for another job, of course.
