If we want to move into a new work area we can increase our chance of success by demonstrating that we share the same values as the people currently working in that area.
If you find that the managers working at the company you want to join all belong to a particular organisation such as The Rotary Club, you could choose to join so as to meet them on a social basis. In discussion you could demonstrate similar views rather than challenge the group view on social topics such as government initiatives.
Thinking about the organisation you want to join, what clothes do the people wear in this sweden phone number library organisation? If they wear stylish clothes you might not want to be too conservatively dressed and vice versa. Again using impression management to fit in.
... and When Seeking a Promotion
Whether you seek a promotion within your organisation or a move to a new company think about the image you give and if you can improve your chance of success through actions and props.
I advise my career coaching clients who are seeking promotion to think about the role they want and make sure they dress 'as if' they are in the role. It might mean having a briefcase rather than a shopping bag and wearing a suit rather than casual clothes. It could also mean personal development and reading business literature so you are ready to comment on topical issues.
