1. Brush up on your grooming technique.

~ For men

i. Get a new haircut.

ii. Get a manicure, pedicure and face cleaning.

iii. It is not essential to have a crew cut on the job. But men with longer hair should opt for a slick, gelled-back look. This gives the impression of being freshly showered.

iv. For a quick change in the way you look, consider re-styling your facial hair.

~ For women

i. For the ladies, even a good hair trim and regular face cleaning/ buffing should do.

ii. According to hairstylist Jawed Habib, "Curls are very much in for women, but these work best for the office if worn tied back or short."

iii. If you want a quick change in look, try parting or tying your hair differently.
