Biggest personal attributes..

A great article provided by Forbes and in CareerBuilder
discusses the
biggest personal attributes that keep
people from getting a promotion:


Piercings: 37%
Bad Breath: 34%
Visible Tattoo: 31%
Wrinkled Clothes:
31%
Messy Hair: 29%


This is interesting, because nearly half of 26-40
year-olds and 36% of
18-25-year-olds have tattoos.
22% of 26-40-year-olds and 30% of 18-25
year-olds
have at least one body piercing, according to the
Pew Research
Center.


Eventually, many people with tattoos spend big
money to go through a
painful procedure to remove
the tattoos.


One person noted that these things probably won't
get you fired, but they
keep you from getting hired
or promoted.


At the same time, as etiquette trainers, we can
certainly let our students
know about proper hygiene
so that our students don't come to work or
interviews
with bad breath, messy hair, or wrinkled clothing!
