The Image of Success: Make a Great Impression and Land the Job You Want

Fair or not, assumptions about our intelligence, abilities, sophistication, performance, and pedigree are routinely made based on the image we project. Join career and image coach Lizandra Vega for some down-to-earth, candid guidance on the ABCs of image Appearance, Behavior, and Communication that often make the difference between a job offer and a rejection. From poorly chosen outfits, to unconscious 'ums' and 'ahs,' to the dreaded 'dead fish' handshake and other faux pas, she'll share tips on personal style, body language, etiquette, communication, and more-all designed to help candidates avoid common pitfalls and create the kind of consistent personal image that will convince employers of their inherent value to the organization.
