I feel a bit sick about this, found something on photocopier at work (shouldn't happen, you can secure print). Now the key competencies seem to include about 20 things of which I'd say about five are really important and the rest just rubbish. But the one stressing me out the most is personal appearance and image. I'm not the thinnest person and although I dress well and wear deodorant (roll-on and spray) and perfume I am one of those people that no matter how hard I try I look a bit unkempt with hair going left, right and centre even in a bun, I smell a bit when under pressure, plus I hate wearing makeup except for meetings with clients. I am also worried a double standard will be applied for men and women, and my age will count against me (the office is young). Should I start upping my game or focus on the other 19 competencies or just the 5 I think are important?
