Workforce Ready
Your résumé and the job interview can help sell you to prospective employers, but those things represent only the spoken word. There are also nonverbal clues at play that speak for you and can have a negative impact on how you are perceived. The image you present plays a big part in taking you to the next level or holding you back. Entering the corporate world requires a completely different set of soft skills than those needed on campus. Learning the basics of image management at the beginning of your career is an essential step in establishing your position within the company and with peers and managers.
