A professional image:

Successful people believe their success is attributable to a pattern of

mutually beneficial interpersonal relationships, as much as it is due
to technical skills or business knowledge. Your communication and
the image you present create the first impression - often the lasting
impression - on the people you meet. Want a more professional
image? How you present yourself is the first step in building that
mutually beneficial network of contacts.
