2.0 out of 5 stars
At best this book contains 95% fluff and 5% substance., June 6, 1998

This review is from: Best Impressions: How to Gain Professionalism, Promotion and Profit (Paperback)
The overall theme of Best Impressions is that everyone needs a "personal full image development consultation" (which I am sure the author will provide for a fee). At best this book contains 95% fluff and 5% substance. I am incredibly under-whelmed by the lack of detail in each topical area covered. The author repeats every sentence and idea at least five times throughout, which means that this 145 page book could have easily been written in about 30 pages without losing its message. I would not recommend the purchase of this book.

A very helpful book............, September 23, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Impressions: How to Gain Professionalism, Promotion and Profit (Paperback)
Thank you for helping me to advance professionally in my career as an
Administrative Assistant. I have been searching for a way to gain respect
from my Directors. I have tried many things to gain respect I became more
organized, learned to improve my communication style and to act more
professional. However, something was still missing. It was the way I
dressed and I did not realize it until I had the opportunity to speak with
Dawn and read her book.
Prior to reading the book, I would look through clothing catalogs and find
really cute clothes. They may have been cute to me but they were not
professional. I was so thrilled and excited about the tips you gave me to
"professionalize" my wardrobe because of the upbeat and positive way you
presented the information. Immediately, I began to change the way I
dressed and soon I began to reap the results I wanted. The Directors
began to listen to me, I was handed high profile projects and people took
notice of me and have complimented me on my new look. Even more important,
I feel more positive at work and can concentrate on getting my job done no
matter what the world hands me that day.

Not a bad book, but not terrific., September 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Best Impressions: How to Gain Professionalism, Promotion and Profit (Paperback)
Although I picked up some good ideas on wardrobe planning, much of the advice on improving your appearance is just common sense (wash your hair, manicure your nails). Also, her color scheme system was difficult to understand and apply. I never did figure out where I fit! There are better books out there.
