Blue Collar Tip of the Day:




by Stand-By Personnel, Inc.
You hear it all the time...first impressions are EVERYTHING! Whether you agree with it or not, the fact is, that first impressions really are everything. It doesn't matter if you're a skilled blue collar worker or general laboror.
The first time you walk in to inquire about a position, no matter what the position is, always wear clean clothes. Don't just grab anything and think to yourself "oh well, it's just for a warehouse position anyway." Because it matters to the person doing the interview. Buy one pair of jeans and either a new nice polo style or button down shirt, or even a nice t-shirt without any obscenities or graphics on it. Keep one outfit on hand for interviews. It doesn't have to be name-brand or designer. Just clean, stainless, and hole-less clothes. Remember, how you dress says a lot about you. Show you care about getting the job and that you'll be a dependable employee...those are the ones that are more likely to be given opportunities to move up in the company as well. Dress to impress!
