BAD HAIR DAYS
By: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association
I have pulled this
article from my archives.
I hope you enjoy it. It
first ran in the LEW in
2003.
Did you hear recently
about the survey that
concluded that people do
not feel as good about
themselves when they are
having bad hair days.
And that men are more
sensitive than women
over the issue. Of course,
the deeper issue was that
most people are just not
as confident when they
believe their appearance
is not up to par. DUH!
Okay, how does this
relate to paralegals?
As
paralegals
we
represent to clients that
we have knowledge and
expertise. While many
firms have dress codes
that seem stuffy and
perhaps out of date there
may be valid reasons for
not allowing men to wear
shorts or ribald t-shirts to
work and women to wear
halter tops or sweat suits
to work. Perhaps one
reason is unpredictability.
I remember the time my
boss was on vacation and
those of us remaining in
the office were casually
dressed. We received a
call from a client who was
appearing before a judge
in the local circuit court
within minutes. There
being no attorney in the
office I attended the
hearing only to inform the
judge
of
counsel’s
unavailability to the
client. Unfortunately I
was wearing a Hawaiian
print shirt and shorts.
Certainly the impression
was
not
one
of
competence. More like
Gidget goes to the beach.
Anyway from that day
forward I have always
hesitated before dressing
casually.
I question
whether what I am
wearing is appropriate to
appear before a hearing
officer or judge. If not,
then it is time to change
clothes. One never knows
if a similar occasion might
occur.
Perhaps
another
reason for dressing for
success, assuming you are
not a rock star, is that
despite all our wishes to
the contrary a first
impression can be hard to
dispel. While you may be
wearing jeans and a Rams
t-shirt because you were
sifting through boxes in a
warehouse earlier in the
day a client meeting you
for the first time might
not be aware of those
facts and wonder how
industrious you will be on
his or her behalf. Yes,
these are prejudices.
When I was young and
very idealistic I believed
that it was the work you
did not what you wore
that made an impression.
Now that I am not so
young/idealistic I realize
that the work you do will
make an impression but
that first impression is
still important.
Perhaps
another
reason for a dress code is
that the firm, in its all
seeing
omnipotence,
knows that some people
simply have poor taste
and need a little direction
So a lot of time and
money was spent in a
survey, funded by a
corporation
that
produces
hair
care
products, to surmise that
how we feel about
ourselves
can
be
determined
by
our
appearance or having a
bad hair day. To gain
some insight from the
in their business attire.
What you and I might
find amusing to wear may
not be what the firm
considers
correct
business attire.
Dressing for success
may also depend on your
location.
What is
required in larger cities
may be too formal in
rural areas.
survey, paralegals should
dress so confidence is a
natural result. No more
bad hair days.
