Image experts help job hunters dress to impress (CNN)

Gabrielle Teare, a London-based personal stylist, told CNN that her clients include bankers who have been made redundant or are concerned about losing their job, while in Toronto, image consultant Lynda Jean told CNN she has clients who worry they’re not given the same respect as their colleagues simply because of their appearance.

When it comes to job interviews, the style experts have no doubts that image counts.

“Research has shown time and time again that first impressions are made within 10 seconds of meeting someone,” said Jean.

“We all make assumptions in the first 10 seconds of meeting somebody and they include that person’s level of education, social standing, economic status, and how well they will do in the future.

“You only have one chance to make a good first impression and we live in a shallow world where we can benefit by looking good.”

Please sake the stylist.

My heart almost stopped when I saw this lump picture.

Reading the article about the  chefs you will find out that two of them was involved in the fashion business!

They have a lot to learn about image as branding tools.

Do you invest in a Chef that cannot even control and refine their own image.

Still a long way to go……
