Jobwise

Personal branding has become an important element in today's workplace. Image consultant Angela Deh says it's essential to look the part, because that will get potential employers intersted in you..

"We live in a visually orientated society – how you look and present yourself to the public and clients is a reflection of your company. The trick is to encorporate the company brand into your personal identity, reaching a compromise between how you want to look and the business dress code."

" You can wear your hair in a certain way, or add accessories– so long as they confirm with uniform regulations. You need to look the part to be taken seriously."

Sick leave know-how

  • If you become ill while on leave, you can be refunded for the days you were sick if you produce a medical certificate.
