Brothers and sisters in arms, Mike Sarrialle from CareerRecon.

Today I want to talk about that old adage in the military I think you’ve probably heard this one, an ounce of appearance is worth a pound of performance. What that means is people are going to size you up based on how you would look, if you look like a bag of you know what, they’re gonna think that hey, this person is not disciplined, they have no pride and who wants to let people like that into their organization.

For my guys out there. Hey, don’t grow the Special Operations beard. It doesn’t look good. If you want to grow a beard, longer than this, just make sure it’s groomed and that you look like you have pride. Tuck your shirts in and wear a button-up shirt, look presentable for the interview and have personal pride. Because, if you don’t guys, you’re potentially going to lose that opportunity.

Alright guys, thanks for your time, Mike Sarrialle out.
