Why We Do What We Do
First impressions can determine whether we’re successful in getting a job—or getting a date. When we walk into a room, what’s going through people’s minds? Are they impressed by the confident, put-together image we project, or are they put off by our less-than-perfectly-fitting wardrobe, slumping posture, or lack of eye contact? Within just seven seconds, people have already made critical decisions about our professionalism, socio-economic status, education level and desirability.
The way we look is especially critical in today’s competitive business climate. In fact, a new study of human resource managers found that starting salaries for well-dressed and well-groomed job candidates were up to 20 percent higher than those of their less put-together peers.
Since 2000, image consultant Amy Lindquist, A.I.C.I, has been helping Twin Cities men and women—from recent college graduates to working moms to high-powered celebrities—create a look that suits them from head to toe -- and from the outside in.
She is a frequent fashion resource for print, broadcast and online media in the Twin Cities and across the country. Here’s a sampling of some of her most recent articles and appearances:
