# 13 Good Appearance – proper dress and hygiene
My Grandmother would get so upset with us if we were
going to an event and did not dress up. She would tell us, “You are
representing this family and if you think you are going anywhere with me
looking like that, you’d better think again”! And by all means shower and wear perfume (if you are a woman) and cologne (for men). Of course bathe first!
She would even say, "Even if you go to the gym to work out, your perfume should be your signature smell ~ always"! Think about it ~ we all remember a fellow student in school we knew by their smell - now didn't we? We didn't even have to turn around, they could be just in the vacinity and we knew they were there!

That statement and the habit of making sure I look
nice, even if I’m going to get groceries, was instilled in me at a young age,
and I constantly hear her words in my head that, many times, I have turned
around and changed my clothes.
So many people do not understand first impressions
speak loud and clear ~ like going to a job interview. It doesn’t matter whether
it’s a factory job, a janitorial job, or a nursing job; you should arrive dressed
up. If you do not have a nice dress and shoes, borrow some; and the same for
men who do not have a suit and tie.
When you look your best and you show up to a job
interview in proper attire; rest assured, you made a good impression in
more ways than just your conduct and intelligence.
Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty. Job 40:10 NAS
