Grooming & Professional Etiquette
This document provides grooming tips for men and women in a professional workplace setting. It emphasizes the importance of making a good first impression through proper grooming and attire. Key recommendations include wearing simple, conservative clothing in neutral colors without loud patterns; well-fitted pants and shirts that are wrinkle-free; closed-toe leather shoes that are polished; and minimal, traditional jewelry. Proper grooming involves being clean-shaven with well-manicured nails. The goal is to dress appropriately for the position in a way that will be judged positively within the first 30 seconds to 4 minutes of meeting others.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Grooming means dressing well, to be presentable to others. You may want to give a little more attention to how you dress at work because what you wear may be substantially influencing your career path. Although nothing takes the place of talent, hard work, innate ability and ambition, looking your professional best in the workplace can give you a competitive advantage. It simply means dressing in a way that projects an image of the sophisticated, successful working individual you are or would like to become.
