How can a professional appearance benefit you?

Question 2

If your boss asks you to work late on an evening when you already have casual social plans, how can you turn this into a positive situation?

Answer to Question 1

A professional appearance conveys that you are confident and responsible and that you respect those around you. People will take you more seriously.

Answer to Question 2

Accepting extra work without complaint shows that you have positive work habits, a positive attitude, and a good work ethic. Missing out on the social function could ultimately be a small price to pay for the opportunity to demonstrate your willingness to work hard and to build a positive relationship with a supervisor who can help you succeed in the workplace.
