Dress to impress and to fit in! - Human Resources (HR) Generalist - (City withheld for privacy), New York, United States.
Posted in Impress New Employer on 13 Oct 2008.
Dress to impress. We often read about dressing to impress or dress like an executive you want to be (ie: in a suit and heels) but let me tell you that you should dress like one of them, just better. I used to work in a very formal corporate atmosphere so I was a bit shocked to see even my boss in jeans and sneakers. Much as we want to stand out, we should never stand out like a sore thumb. So I still wear heels to my office, but now with slim fit jeans!

It's a bad idea to involve in office politics. Try to stay away from it. Sometime you don't have choice and you have to take one side. Try to do a balancing act and don't get involved.

In today's market it is very common that employers do not give you the common courtesy of two weeks notice when they have made a business decision on your current position. I have learned over the years that this is part of the the work environment.
