Here at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke we have a lot of career orientated students that are always looking for new things to be exposed to as far as developing their career goals. Here at the University Career Center our goal is to make sure that our students follow through on their dreams and aspirations of being successful upon graduation. We help them with resumes, cover letters, mock interview, and much more. In my opinion the most important thing is how a person dresses for an occasion. When you are meeting someone for the first time it only takes 3-5 seconds to make a first impression, and many people know that a first impression is a lasting impression. In the Career Center we focus on teaching students how to dress appropriately and act accordingly when in a business setting.
The reason we have implemented the Black and Gold Business Attire Idea is to showcase those students on the campus that have on appropriate business attire. It is simple to do, take a business picture through Instagram and in the caption simply use the tag #hireuncp, and the Career Center does the work for you. We post the picture with that hashtag to our Facebook and Twitter accounts and we share business attire photos with the world. This is a great way to help our students here at UNC Pembroke. We want to make sure that we showcase our students on campus who are dressed to impress and who are ready for the job. This is also a great way to start preparing students for what they should expect once they go into the business world and start their careers.
