| Description: | The Womens Dress for Success appeared in 1978 . It was the first and only book for women by image consultant backed up recommendations with sound research. John T. Molloy proved htat what a woman wore affected what they earned. He stated then: "Most American Women dress for failure" and "They still do" and most don't know it. The right clothing can give you the competitive edge. Molly's research still proves true today that certian clothes have power in today's workplace, a business world where "casual" clothes are becoming a new uniform, and women in management positions have no clear idea of what to wear. This book shows you: Why it's more important to dress correctly on "casual" days. Which colors will dramatically boost sales figures for women. How women in people oriented careers should dress. What clothes announce you are a team player...possess authority...are trustworthy...or have the right stuff to crash through the glass ceiling into top management. What is the most important outfit in your closet. Plus: How to dress for an interview, Which accesories are necessities, tips on makeup, jewelry, and shoes; special recommendations for Lawyers, Doctors, Counselors, Sales Personnel, Reporters and Accountants. |
I first read this book in College after my divorce. A professor recommended in his class and insisted that it would help us all. I was skeptical to say the least but made sure that I gave it a try on my first job out of College. Within a month my boss told me that the way I dressed, spoke and wrote was a sign that I would be promoted sooner than any other manager in the store, I am in retail. They also had a great deal of respect for me and so did the associates that worked for me. After a while I had read some other books that were much more lax in dress and became much more casual with my dress. The level of respect that I had quickly diminished. My chance for a promotion did too. I am now overnight where we wear jeans and a blue shirt. I am looking for another job now so I can start over. I can honestly say that I truely learned a lesson the hard way.
