Job and Career: Is a radiant smile the key to success?

Experiences from (business) photographers show: Employees from the banking, legal, or financial services sectors pay significantly more attention to their appearance than employees in retail or floristry. One of our partner photographers experiences this in his daily work.

This statement prompted us to take a closer look and ask ourselves whether white teeth are really that important, if not even a key to success, in the working world.

The employee as a representative of the company

Every employee represents the company outwardly – regardless of their department or job title. For contacts, the face is inevitably associated with the company.

So we cannot avoid looking for possible influencing factors for creating a good impression. What influences the impression I have of a person? How can I make use of that? There is no formula or rule of thumb for this. However, how well-groomed and self-confident a person appears seems to play a significant role.

Body care as a priority

We all have integrated daily showering and brushing our teeth into our routine. Everything beyond that is a personal choice and may involve additional time investment. In your routine, you can freely decide on the following points:

• Choice of clothing: casual, classic, chic or sporty
• Hairstyle
• Beard care / Beard hairstyle
• Make-up
• Glasses or contact lenses
• Accessories: Wristwatch, bracelets, necklaces, earrings etc.
• extended body care: teeth whitening, shaving etc.

Many employers expect a "subtle but well-groomed" appearance. What exactly this means is a matter of interpretation and varies for everyone. However, an unspoken rule is: The greater your responsibility, the fancier your outfit. In leadership positions, in finance, and in traditional companies, this means: You wear a blouse or a shirt with a suit, pantsuit, or skirt. If your job involves contact with clients, appropriate clothing is also a must to ensure you appear serious and professional.

In addition to your clothing, you can enhance your overall impression with further adjustments (see above). Since the focus in conversation often lies on the mouth and eye area, you should consider what is suitable for you here. For example, whether you wear glasses, how your eye makeup looks, whether you apply lipstick, and if you want to change the color of your teeth.

If you choose the latter and want to painlessly get rid of old discolorations, we have something suitable for you.
