Knees and toes. Sorry, I couldn't resist!
This Saturday, I'll be hosting an Image/Appearance and Reputation Workshop for the chapter I advise. The Vice President of Recruitment has asked me to speak during their scheduled Recruitment Meeting on the importance of first impressions, and how to dress for a successful recruitment. I realize this could sound incredibly vain and shallow, but hear me out. Appearance is not just how you look, but how you are perceived. Formal Recruitment in its nature is an incredibly shallow process, and first impressions are super important. I'm not dogging your local Panhellenic system, I'm only saying it is a very quick time to talk someone into a very serious commitment.
This week, I will be using this blog as a sounding board for some ideas regarding the workshop. I'm calling it "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes: How to Give a Great First Impression". I will cover clothing, make-up, attitude, body language, and reputation.
Let me know your thoughts! I want this workshop to be successful for everyone involved. I'm no expert, but I have been through over 10 Recruitments in the past 7 years. I also worked in Human Resources for a year. Hopefully that gives me some credibility.
