This happens) Sometimes unexpectedly and quickly enough. Yes, so that the one appointed to the position is not very ready, neither morally nor in terms of wardrobe. And once the authorities have trusted and placed their hopes, then rest assured - there will be demand from all sides. Therefore, in addition to trainings on managerial skills, think about how you will represent the interests of the company and by what criteria you should tighten your appearance.
1. First, we’re exploring new. To begin, I recommend objectively evaluating the new position from the standpoint of the expectations of the team, customers, and senior management (if any). Questions that you need to ask yourself and answer them aloof: - Who are you at this place? - What role do you play in the company? - What expectations does the company have on an employee of your level? - What qualities are necessary for this work? Answering these questions, I highly recommend that you remove yourself from your beloved / beloved and abstract away precisely for the position. Then get a more objective assessment of the situation in the wardrobe.
Valuable will be specific criteria that cause a specific and understandable image. For example, the term “confident” is about nothing, in this context. The criterion is very useful, but requires additional "unpacking". Everyone can interpret it in their own way and in different interpretations. But the concept of "neat" - is specific and understandable as feasible. The more clear descriptions you can formulate at the first stage of research, the easier it will be for you at the second.
2. Second, we analyze the old.
Having an objective set of criteria for the job, it will be easier for you to understand what materials, cut and colors are needed for the new image. Practice the things you have in your wardrobe. And we look at them on what subject. Having a “verbal portrait” (see paragraph 1), we must find out how much the usual costumes, lengths of skirts, shades of blouses and textures of comfortable cardigans correspond to the level of the new position? Can a leader of this status dress in the things your wardrobe can hold? Often, when we conduct a similar audit with customers who have increased - there is despondency. It turns out that tomorrow to work, but there is nothing to go.
All that was obviously not suitable either in color or in proportion (degree of fit), and it would be time to change the material already (cotton to silk, loose knitwear for something smoother). In fact, one should not be discouraged, but rejoice! After all, when we get the keys to a new apartment it is much nicer to furnish it with new furniture than old. Here is the same thing.
3. Third - quantitative.
In order not to be completely slaughter on the budget, I recommend that you determine the qualitative minimum by the number of sets and buy them in the finished version. Sometimes 3-4 sets (not suits, attention!) Are enough to feel dressed "out of place" for a week. Namely, with shoes, bag and tights (in the case of women). Status watches, pens, cufflinks and the like will wait. The main thing is that tomorrow you will be seen in a new quality and believe that you are able to make a better difference in the situation for this company.
