Summary

  • Take a shower or bath every day.
  • Brush your teeth at least once a day.
  • Keep your fingernails clean and trimmed.

You want to look your best to make the best impression on the job. The way you look can have an affect on your job success. The way other people see you influences the way they treat you, so it’s important to pay attention to how you look. It also has an affect on the way you feel about yourself. The easiest way to do this is to develop good hygiene habits. Good grooming does not cost a lot of money. When you look your best, you show others you care about yourself.

  • You need to take a shower or bath every day. It shows you have respect for others and respect for yourself. Use some type of deodorant each day. It controls the body odor that comes from sweating.
  • Brush your teeth at least once a day and if possible, after each meal. When you don’t brush your teeth, you get bad breath and people don’t want to be around you. Mouthwash or gum can also keep away bad breath.
  • Shaving is important. Each job has different rules about facial hair. If you work at a job that lets its employees wear a beard or moustache, make sure you keep it trimmed.
  • Wash your hair at least once every three days. Hair that hasn’t been washed smells bad and looks unsightly. Comb your hair several times each day to keep it neat looking. Get a good haircut that’s easy to take care of. Extreme hairstyles and hair colors are inappropriate for most jobs. If you have long hair, keep it in a ponytail or pinned up.
  • Keep your fingernails clean and trimmed. If you wear long nails, keep them a reasonable length. Extremely long nails can be a safety hazard and can keep you from doing your best work. For women, a little makeup is appropriate. Use natural colors and don’t apply it too heavily. If you’re unsure about your makeup routine, ask a friend whose opinion you trust.
