OP, I get a small sense that you might be having a hard time dealing with people over this issue - if not, no personal offense intended. It could be good to remember that the best way to get people to do what you want is to show them how it will benefit them. You'll have to be very diplomatic in your position, so you might want to add Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" to your summer reading list. Other than that it seems like you're one the right track! |
I'm glad I didn't disappoint
Other than the gems of outrageous requests/demands, that Cornell student did have some solid tips in her manifesto. It really wasn't what she said as much as how she said it. I have and will say similar things to young women entering the work place and/or leaving college.
Avoid muffin tops, camel toe, leggings that aren't pants worn as such, dark pants/denim are better than bleached and faded jeans. In January avoid summer colors and short sleeves, as well as sleeveless or tank tops, don't be frumpy or over exposed with something low cut. Wear flats and avoid open toe, too high, white, and strappy (hello January!). Appropriate skirt/dress hems and sleeves, shaved legs with tights, as well as color for winter, while avoiding too much cleavage. Jewelry is also on point with classic pieces that can be purchased inexpensively, or be the real thing, and useful for job interviews, and beyond college.
Darn it, the makeup tips didn't make the cut. What she said about smokey eye makeup and eyeliner vis a vis LAXers is quite useful.
