Professional Image and Networking Effectiveness

Who’s that professional in the mirror? With a smart approach to dressing and networking, it can be you! Crafting a business image that will impress recruiters and interviewers requires attention to press and polish, fit and fabric. Creating a positive impression at campus networking events means knowing how to start, maintain and conclude a conversation – and why it may be best to eat before you arrive at the party. To begin building your personal brand, Branding U visits the wardrobe room for business casual, business professional and after-hours clothes. Then join KPMG recruiters for a networking conversation about Professional Image and Networking Effectiveness.

Time to make the transition from college student to professional:

  • Observe others-what do they wear, grooming, etc. Might be time to get a haircut!
  • Note that college attire does not necessarily equal business casual attire
  • Be interested in other people and don't focus on yourself
  • Be prepared - knowing what to expect will help you relax and feel confident!
