When Job-Hunting: Dress for Success


This second article talks about how you should be dressed when you go job hunting. How you dress show alot about your self. The first impression is very important. People should be judged by what they wear but reality is that you are really being judged when you go for a job interview. This article also gives you tips about how a person should dress when they go job hunting for men and women.



I agree with the second article alot... "Should you be judged by what you wear? Perhaps not, but the reality is, of course, that you are judged." I agree with this because its very important when you make a first impression. Its true that no one should be judged by what their wearing but either way their being judged in their interview about other personal stuff. So why not just dress decent for the job interview.

CNN Answers

1. Name two statements from the article that you agree with and explain as to why you agree.


"For better or worse, online screenings may be a permanent part of the 21st-century hiring process." I disagree with this because its really dumb not to hire someone because of a picture that may not be bad at all.

"The Microsoft survey found that 79 percent of U.S. hiring managers have used the Internet to better assess applicants." I don't think the store mangers should research peoples business off of facebook. If it were for college maybe i would agree.


2. Did any of the information offend you or did you feel was an invasion of privacy?2. List two things that YOU will personally change in your profile so that your reputation will not be jeopardized.

I kind of do feel like more and more people are invading my privacy, but then i think about it my would you post your life on a website. Its website to keep intouch with people or to reach people but not to have you life story on it. I really dont have anything bad on my website before when i was younger like on myspace maybe i would talk too much about my personal life but now im older and mature. It's all about being mature online. If anything i would make sure the picture i post or my friends post aren't bad.
