The Image of Success is now on top of my professional reads! Having scanned through tons of career-advice resources, this is the book that stood out. This practical guide unveils the invaluable knowledge for creating one's professional image from inside out. Lizandra Vega's expertise leaves no doubt. I have made several bookmarks to refer to in the future. And who would imagine that the book on such serious subject is so amusing to read thanks to the author's witty style. So if you are a job-hunter, or simply wish to polish your professional presentation, The Image of Success is the must! So inspiring!

PS As the book made a huge impression on me, and I was grateful to the author, I couldn't resist to writing a thank-you note to Lizandra Vega, and she replied back to me! Then I was truly impressed. Now talk about being truthful to your brand!

You know better than to walk into an interview holding a sloshing cup of coffee, with your tie askew or your hem uneven, and your cellphone buzzing. Yet people do things like this all the time, and they suffer the consequences, including being bewildered about why they didn't get that job or promotion. The reality is that, to potential employers, your image is just as important - if not more important - than your résumé. Recruiter Lizandra Vega explains that, rightly or wrongly, people will make assumptions about your capabilities and competence based on the image you project. In this charmingly autobiographical text, Vega takes you through the job-search process step-by-step, from buying the right interview suit to shaking hands to negotiating an offer. getAbstract recommends this comprehensive manual to graduates entering the job market, employees stalled in their career progress and anyone looking for a better opportunity - or a brushed-up professional look.

No doubt, this is a MUST READ for any job seeker in this volatile and competitive job market. It's thorough yet light hearted and answers so many questions you never thought to ask.

Vega tells it like it is, from the way you shirt should fit to what your shoe says about you.

Her tips on the ABC's of interviewing (appearance, behavior, communication) are invaluable. The art of selling yourself at "hello" is what you will master once you read this book. She is smart, witty and honest.

I absolutely loved it!!!

Lizandra touches on every possible facet of creating the YOU that will land the job! The book contains sound advice with a touch of humor that makes it an informative, enjoyable and easy read! Whether you are a C-level executive or a recent graduate seeking your first job, the book is a must have in your job search arsenal!

Lizandra Vega's new book The Image of Success: Make a Great Impression and Land the Job You Want is a keeper -- it's not just sensible, well researched advice on how to dress well, she takes it several steps further with detailed counsel on how to conduct a job search (or a professional career) with class and sophistication. Her advice includes not only what to wear, but how to speak and present professionally, how to correspond and even how to handle the interview and negotiation process. Her years of experience in the search field provide a solid foundation for her advice, and her humor and sincere desire to share hard-earned wisdom make this the kind of book you can keep on your shelf for future reference. A must read for a new graduate, a returnee or anyone seeking to make a job change!
