Better Job Might Mean Hotter Shoes
January 22, 2011 By Mark Whysall
If you are one of the millions of people that are currently looking for a job you probably already know how important a resume is. Did you know that a resume doesn’t have to be the only thing that is going for you? Dressing to impress may land you the job you want and that means everything from your shirt to your shoes. Hotter shoes could mean the difference between a rejection or a second interview.
Many managers that have been in their position for over twenty years may be relying on old hiring tactics. Those tactics, while rather superficial, might be what has been holding you back from landing that job. One of those old tactics is judging someone by their shoes. If their shoes are old and unpolished then that may mean the interviewee doesn’t take care of their belongings very well, so why would they protect the company’s belongings? Another thing that managers might attribute to a pair of hotter shoes is that the interviewee took enough time and has put forth an effort in everything and that includes their shoes.
It doesn’t take a lot of money to have hotter shoes. It might just mean some new laces and some polish, but it may make the difference in your next interview.
MY THOUGHTS
i remember judging job applicants by their manicure. that's because the job calls for it. and shoes, yes, i look. a bit. but it was never the deciding factor.if i see someone with worn out shoes, i figure, the guy really needs a job.
