By Glenn Jones Recently I ditched the “Dragged through a hedge backwards” look in favour of a shirt and tie. Suddenly I was a respectable citizen - my new smart attire seemed to open up a whole new world so I decided to investigate the power of the first impression
How could I go about uncovering such a mystery? It was time to ask a team of local experts to help with a good old bit of light shedding. But who could be up to this incredible task, the three impressionerteers (yes I did just make that word up), that’s who!
Paul Williams, a marketing expert from Staffordshire University gave us a view from a marketing perspective whilst Sarah Da Silva of Da Silva Recruitment gave us an insight in to the recruitment point of view. Sarah Willard designs wedding dresses for Sarah Willard Couture; so what she doesn't know about appearance simply isn't worth knowing!
