To look and act smarter,
present a polished, professional image through well-fitting, tailored clothing, good posture, and sometimes wearing glasses. Act intelligently by speaking clearly, listening more than talking, maintaining eye contact, and removing filler words like “um” or “like” from your speech.
Look Smart
Dress the Part: Wear clean, tailored, and professional clothing. Think “smart casual” or business casual, such as button-down shirts, blazers, or sweaters.
Improve Posture: Stand up straight and keep your head up to project confidence.
Wear Glasses: Studies suggest glasses make people appear more intelligent.
Grooming: Maintain good personal hygiene and neat hair.
Act Smart
Listen More, Speak Less: Allow others to talk, as speaking less often makes your words seem more valuable.
Control Speech Patterns: Eliminate filler words (“um,” “like”) and enunciate clearly.
Use Confident Body Language: Maintain firm eye contact, use firm handshakes, and avoid fidgeting.
Ask Insightful Questions: Engage in conversations by asking questions that show you are thinking critically, rather than just waiting to talk.
Project Confidence: Believe in what you are saying, but avoid arrogance.
Be Informed: Read, watch documentaries, and stay updated on current events.
Simple Behavioral Tricks
Carry a notebook: Bringing a book or a notebook and pen suggests you are constantly learning or taking notes.
Slow Down: Don’t rush your answers; taking a moment to think shows deliberation.
Use Proper Language: Avoid excessive slang or swearing.
