New kid in the block of stellenangebote- Image Consultant

There is a new prospect hovering around here and there. You have heard about stellenangebote and different kind of stellenangebote. Some are traditional and conventional ones while few are newly- born. With the advancement in science and technology diverse stellenangebote have come to the forefront. Initially it was not so easy for many to come in terms with variegated professions. Thankfully that’s not the case now. You don't really have to bother what society will say if your profession doesn't fall in the bracket of “safe stellenangebote”. No one has the time and intention of meddling into others affair and at the end of the day it's all about following your heart.

The other day I heard someone working as an Image consultant. Not related to fashion and makeover but on a little different line. May be many have heard about it but I thought of sharing it with you all. The image consults are hired by companies to boost up their image internally and externally. It includes upgrading and changing the image on individual and organization level. In-fact many young professionals are viewing the work of an Image consultant as a great career prospect. The area of work for Image consultants usually includes appearance, business communication skills and life skills. On an individual level the staff members are informed and asked to take care of their personal branding like grooming, dress code, appropriate accessories, make-up and personal hygiene. Alongwith the body language like art of sitting, standing and walking, expected conduct at the office, office courtesies, and behavior at onsite and offsite meetings are all included in detail. It is important that there is effective business communication skill working on two level- internal (peers, superiors, subordinates) and external (stakeholders, marketing agencies, vendors, government, banks, NGO). Image consultants also look after organizational behavior, problem- solving skills and crisis- management. The idea is they cash on the interactive and collaborative learning environment and the golden rule is people learn by seeing and doing. Infact they are also referred as corporate Image consultants. It is one of those stellenangebote where you are paid for your people- skill and intellectual expertise. There are quite a handful universities and corporate houses who undertake courses on this aspect. It is always better to learn the trick and if you can pursue that professionally nothing like it.

So if anyone out there is battling to solve the problem of choosing the right career and if you think you have the knack and caliber required for Image Consulting, then go for it.
