Common Sense Ideas for Becoming the Career Star You Are Meant to Be

Today is Tuesday, so this post is on positive personal impact.

I saw this sidebar in a recent Denver Post.  It applies here.

Looking to rise up in the ranks at the office?  Your wardrobe could make the difference.  TheLadder.com, an employment website that specializes in the well paid executive, asked employers what they consider the worst fashion mistakes ambitious types make at work.  Here’s the ranking:

1. Revealing clothes
2. Flip-flops
3. Jeans
4. Sleeveless shirts
5. Sneakers
6. Visible tattoos and piercings
7. Clothing with inappropriate slogans

Pretty much common sense, huh?  However, some folks must not be using their common sense if these seven items rank high on the list of things that people should not do, but do anyway.

That’s it for today.  Thanks for reading.  Log on to my other blogs: www.CommonSenseGuy.com for common sense advice on leading people and running a business, and www.CommonSenseDay.com to learn more about Use Your Common Sense Day -- November 4, and to read stories of common sense in action; and my website www.BudBilanich.com for more common sense.

I’ll see you around the web, and at Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
