Appearances make impressions but it is the personality that makes an impact. - Yuzvendra Chahal
The way you dress is the way you will be addressed, no doubt. When it comes to physical appearance, it goes a long way concerning one's identity. You are judged by your appearance first before any other means of communication is established, and that is one of the reasons why we should never take our physical appearance for granted....
For instance, how do you differentiate a deranged person from a sound-minded person? Their appearance, of course, differs. A deranged person is mostly dressed in rags, only in rare cases will you see a deranged person well-dressed, while a mentally healthy person is well-dressed. This is why our appearance speaks first of us before our character and personality. A well-dressed person will always be welcomed everywhere even before any other means of communication. This means always dress the way you want to be addressed...
Even though appearance matters most when it comes to how one is addressed, I believe it shouldn't be like this in some cases. Over the years, I have come across different people with awesome personalities and unimaginable intelligence. However, because of how they appear, they lose their opportunities even before they can get them. I believe appearance should be overlooked in some cases. Let's put into consideration what these people have to offer...
In summary, I am not disputing the fact that appearance indeed matters more when it comes to how we are addressed, but I believe, however, that it should be overlooked in some cases, especially in my country where we have so many intelligent and skilled people with poor appearance. Their importance won't be seen unless they are given the opportunity. We never can tell – they might be our knight in shining armor...
Well, that is enough for an intro, moving ahead on physical appearance, I think it's high time we dive right into our head topic. Join me in the next couple of paragraphs as I share my two cents on this topic...
IT CAN BE OVERLOOKED IN SOME CASES...
When going for an interview, I believe we are first judged by our appearance even before our credentials are collected and observed, it is obvious our appearance is like a ticket to being allowed in an environment. imagine being dressed in rags or an unsuited outfit, will one be allowed in such an environment? No, this is to tell you that our appearance is like 50 out of 100 when it comes to job interviews...
Honestly, I am a bit confused, on one hand, I believe putting appearance first in an interview is just the right thing to do, while on the other hand, I believe it is something that should sometimes be overlooked, and that is because I believe everyone out there deserves an opportunity...
I am not disputing the importance of appearance in an interview, I just think there is a need for flexibility sometimes, if we are to judge everyone by their outward appearance and not because of what they have to offer to the firm or organization they work for, we will be losing a lot of good men, and that is where bending rules a bit come in, an opportunity neither kills nor harm...
This life is not balanced, this is something we have known all our lives, some people have the appearance and not the skill, some people have the skill and not the appearance, while in a couple of cases, we have those that are well equipped in both. when it comes to interviews, I believe what one has to offer and contribute is all that matters and not really how the person looked...
The fact is everyone deserves an opportunity to prove themselves when it comes to interviews and all, I believe appearance should sometimes be overlooked and skill should be a determining factor...
In summary, rules are meant to be bent and broken, so why not bend them for a good course, when it comes to interviews, we should sometimes overlook the appearance and focus more on the skill, with time everything is going to fall into place...
In conclusion, appearance matters but sometimes skills matter more, we should learn to bend the rules for a greater outcome, we never can tell, and some of these people can be our best ASSET in the future...
