Casual Dress in the Workplace

For Ruth, an employee at an insurance company, Friday isn’t just another workday. It is the day when she can wear a sweater and casual trousers instead of business suit. 【1】 “It is a real treat. It puts us in good mood and winds the week down.” Ruth has joined thousands of workers across the United States who happily change from jackets, ties, and dresses to jeans, polo shirts, and sweaters on Fridays.

Why dress-down Friday? “I think it gives an atmosphere of less formality(正式),” says President Matthew of Entex Industries. Today, dressing casually on the job is a way to show your company is in style. Another contributor is faxes, voice mail and email, which have reduced public contact. 【2

However, even though dressing down is popular, the trend is controversial. Some workers remain strongly opposed. “You have got all the time in the world to dress down when you retire,” declared one woman. 【3】 “We had some very important guests come in on a Friday a few months ago,” says another worker. “These people dressed in navy suits. Our people dressed way down. I thought it was embarrassing. It sent the wrong message about our company.” Many people feel that suits, ties and dresses are superior to casual clothes in creating a positive professional image.

4】Some experts think it will go away one day. As long as the trend continues, though, dressing casually can cause a little confusion in the workplace. Business people aren’t sure what to wear, and many people just put on whatever they feel like in the morning. 【5 They believe dressing down at work is one of the signs that the society is lowering its standards of everything. Czardas and John T. Malloy, author of Dress for Success, say psychological changes occur when people dress up. “There is no question what you wear affects what you do, your performance, and your attitude,” says Malloy.

A. Will the dress-down trend last?

B. Will dressing casually become popular?

C. The casual dress trend worries some fashion professionals.

D. It is when she feels more confident and gets ready for next promotion.

E. She loves the day away from her usual dressy suits and high-heeled shoes.

F. Others worry that dressing casually lowers an employer’s professional image.

G. With fewer out-of-the-office meetings, people are dressing less to impress and more for comfort.

Network With Ease

Networking is very important in our daily lives. Often the best jobs and opportunities are not advertised but filled by word of mouth. With this in mind, a good idea is to go and find them yourself. How is this done? By the simple process of networking. A number of people feel networking is a waste of time and it has no effect on personal relationships or being successful in your business. __【1】___ Relationships and business have been built via the networking process for hundreds of years.

Networking is not about meeting hundreds of people, communicating with them and then never meeting them again. It’s about getting to know each other and finding out if you are able to make the relationship beneficial for both of you. If you aren’t able to then see if you can introduce them to someone more well-matched to their business.

__【2】__ One day she decided to donate one of her articles to the local newspaper so it could be published and people around the world could have the chance to read it. The article focused on an event, which was coming up and was hosted by a woman’s publishing group. The group not only liked the article, but also appreciated what she had done, so they recommended her to a national magazine. _【3】__ This example shows how networking can be done easily, if well thought out. Touching base with a few people can in fact lead to reaching many.

___【4】___ I heard a story of someone recommending a friend for a teaching position with a nonprofit organization. Interestingly enough after getting the position, he returned the favor by referring his friend into a job he had heard about. How funny things work out!

When looking for a new job, it may be worth joining a networking group focusing on the sector of business you are interested in. It’s a great way to meet people, do research into companies by asking questions of those people who work there. __【5】_

The examples above show that in order to network effectively and in an efficient manner, you do not need to be outgoing or know a lot of people. All it requires is being creative, listening well, asking relevant questions and developing a good reputation with others. You would be amazed at how many doors will open for you.

A. This concept is completely incorrect.

B. Family and friends are the easiest and best way to increase your network.

C. Often the opportunity may just be within that particular networking group.

D. So now, not only does she get to write regular articles, she also gets paid for it.

E. Getting in touch with your friends and your colleagues often helps you build a larger network.

F. A simple example of how easy networking can be is the example of a woman who used to love writing articles.

G. By referring your friends or relatives whom you think are well suited for a job is another way to network.
