Project Your Own Image
When youre looking for the perfect job whether its a new job or within your
current company you need to find the right image for you and portray that to
everyone around you. It doesnt matter what everyone else is doingyou have to
do what is right for you. Its something as personal as some people will not wear
pants to church while others have no problem. You want to present an image that
portrays you in the way you wish to be portrayed. Each person has an individual
image and you must create yours to fit within the way you want others to see you.
Keep in mind that your image is not important only when you are looking for a new
job but also when you are looking to advance in your current job. Let us look at
dress, for example. Even if the company has a policy of casual dress for all
employees but you notice that managers and other high level employees wear
business attire that is the way you want to dress if you are looking to advance to
that level. You have to show management that you want to be where they are in
order to be viewed as someone of that caliber. That does not mean you have to
begin the job acting as if you are better than everyone else is or dressing in a
management style, but when you know there are openings on higher levels you
need to begin showing interest by the way you act and dress.
Even if you are not interested in a management position you still have an image to
portray in order to find the job that suits you best. You want to present yourself as
someone who is dependable and reliable above all else. Whatever else you wish to
portray is of course good as well, but those two assets are the most important.
Some of the other assets you may wish to make part of your professional profile
include detail oriented, quality conscious, deadline oriented, hard worker, loyal, and
confident to name a few.
Before you begin to look for a new job or advancement within your current
company, make sure you develop the proper image and present it as you go for
interviews. Take the time to perfect any flaws you may have that will place your
professional image in a negative light.
