Another thing that goes along with professionalism is language and attitude. People in the business world do not want someone with a bad attitude that swears like a sailor. They want someone who gets along with others in the workplace, doesnt bring or start drama, and knows what it means to speak to people in a "professional" manner.

So I am blogging about professionalism today
Sometimes younger graphic designers have the mind set that they can wear whatever they want because they are behind a computer screen. Truth is it all depends on what kind of clientele you are looking to do work for. The more professional you look the better chance you have of working with "BUSINESS" people. Someone that owns a lawfirm is a lot more likely to hire a designer that comes in a suit and tie that has a so so portfolio then a person in street clothes that has a good portfolio. Most people unfortunately do go by first impressions. Sometimes the chance to make a second impression doesn't come along. If you want to stick to working with family and freinds and tattoo shops etc. then sure where whatever you want, but if you look forward to making good money in the feild one day, you might want to think about your wardrobe when going into an interview.
