Appearance


Appearance

The way you dress and how you present yourself says a lot about you.  If you are well-groomed, then that means that you care a lot about your appearance and how others view you.  Coming to work with wrinkled clothing, no belt, hair uncombed, can lead people to think that you do not care much about yourself.   You can be a smart, hardworking person, but your appearance can ruin your chance of getting the position you may be trying to pursue.  It can also cause you to get fired or better yet, you will not get hired.  Also, in college your appearance speak to your teachers as well as your peers.  If you do not want anyone to judge you by the way you dress, then you must be well-groomed and dress appropriately.  This link, Importance of Appearance, will give more insight on why appearance is significant.

Leadership/Cooperation

Leadership is when someone is willing to take charge and lead others in the right direction.  A leader has good qualities such as honesty, is hands-on (not just telling others what to do), and willing to motivate as well as be motivated himself.  The leader also knows that he or she is responsible for the group, whether at work or in school.
Cooperation is a process in which individuals come together to achieve a goal.  To establish cooperation, you must learn to be a team player by accepting corrective criticism and also being willing to accept others ideas as well.  Cooperation is very important in groups, on the job or at school.  When someone does not cooperate, it causes trouble within the group and makes others not want to work with that person.  It is a must to cooperate to make things run smoothly.
