Personal grooming involves maintaining a clean, pleasant, and attractive appearance through practices like keeping hair clean and styled, nails trimmed, skin and teeth clean, and wearing appropriate dress including makeup depending on one's field. Proper grooming promotes positive perceptions of professionalism, sophistication, intelligence, credibility, reliability, and respect. It also involves interpersonal communication skills like eye contact, posture, gestures, facial expressions, voice, language, dress, humor, and being authentic. Soft skills refer to personality traits, social graces, communication abilities, and other personal attributes that facilitate relationships and interactions with other people. They include both self-motivation skills and interaction skills important for career success.
