I've got headshots coming up for work next week, and I'm a little stumped on what to wear. You know, everyone always says "black or navy," which is fine, but I'm wondering if I should mix it up. My office is small and business casual. Do you have any tips on colors that might look good on camera, or maybe advice on necklines or fabrics that photograph well? I'm hoping to look professional but also show a bit of my personality if that makes sense.

A few of my female colleagues have done a jewel toned blouse/dress and a black or navy jacket, and I always thought those looked nice.

If you want to stand out in a subtle way, try a color that complements your skin tone. Matte fabrics tend to photograph better than anything too shiny, and V-necks or boat necks can be super flattering.

Maybe do a quick online color analysis to see what shades work best for you?

When I did headshots they recommended against black and a solid color is best. I did a jewel green and it looked great.

Echoing other comments, solid jewel tones like deep teal in a more matte fabric tend to work well. If you know what colors look best on you and make you feel good, wear one of those

Not everyone looks good in jewel tones! I would quickly look into seasonal color analysis. Important to understand if your skin has a warm or cool undertone. Warm undertones can pull off brown and yellow (if you can’t wear these you most likely have a cool undertone and do better in grey or navy). And then from there, how deep is your coloring. If you are light or medium coloring, you shouldn’t wear super dark clothes, for example.

Hi everyone!

I've been offered a job at
Publicis Sapient as a front-end developer (React Js).
What kind of work culture, work load and tech stack exposure should I be expecting?
I'm having 1 year experience.

I've also got offers from IndiaMART InterMESH Limited, Amdocs, Verizon and Collegedunia.

All for the role of front-end web developer.

I'm very confused between all of them.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

I was promoted to manager in July 2020 (3,5 yr of experience). Currently preparing for YE but honestly, I couldn’t care less - what motivates one to push for SM promotion? Not my case atm, but wanted to hear what motivates ppl to keep going as I don’t feel like it’s worth it.
