Have you ever considered the transformative power of dress? After Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother transformed her clothing into a beautiful gown, she was greeted with awe rather than the disdain she would have faced arriving at the royal ball in her old clothes. One outfit had the power to change everyone’s impression of Cinderella. Your dress can do the same for you. In fact, your dress has the power to immediately and substantially transform your career trajectory.

Individuals viewed videos of women in mock hiring interviews and evaluated their interview performance. Half the women had just completed an interview-training class; the other half had no training. The extensive interview training had no effect on their ratings, BUT their interview dress significantly impacted their performance ratings.

If the Fairy Godmother of career success were to transform your clothing, what would you be wearing?

Why does it matter...?

The way you dress will impact both your success in getting a job AND your success on the job.
