Most of us have heard this age-old advice: Dress for the job you want, rather than the one you have. Like many things in life, the adage comes down to professionalism and showing that you care about and are motivated to take the next step on your career path. These words, however, aren’t as meaningful as they once were.
Dress codes for many workers worldwide changed drastically during the pandemic—for example, we now see business attire on top and almost always casual on the bottom for Zoom calls.
Working from home has become the norm, increasing the number of professionals who are now more comfortable and producing better results while rocking their favorite casual attires.
We are now seeing more and more CEOs, Presidents, and Executives of multimillion-dollar companies leaving their suits in the back of the closet in favor of sneakers and skinny jeans.
Dressing up is no longer necessarily a way to signal your interest in that next position or promotion. While it never hurts to look good, especially in an interview situation, clothes are no longer the key to getting ahead in your career.
Ultimately, a Rolex watch, an Armani suit, or a Gucci purse can only get you so far in climbing the corporate ladder. Vocabulary is the ticket to success in the work world today.
Vocabulary is a clear sign of professionalism and prowess
The words and phrases that you use on a regular basis serve to showcase your professionalism, intellect, and focus. They can distinguish you from the crowd in mere sentences and seconds. The way you speak truly does mean more than the way you look in today’s corporate culture—even better, it costs far less in terms of the required investment in both finances and time, thanks to EliteVocab.

Why EliteVocab and elite vocabulary are so essential today
In a recent study from the Johnson O’Connor Institute, managers at nearly 40 companies were given a standard vocabulary test. Interestingly, the test scores matched rung for rung with these professionals’ spots on the corporate ladder. Executives received the top scores to go along with their top jobs, while lower-level managers received lower scores. Vocabulary was the difference maker, and that’s a big deal, considering their pay scales varied by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Are you interested in the next job? Or perhaps you are seeking a promotion or greater responsibilities at work? Maybe you’re a serial entrepreneur and currently speaking to investors to raise funds for your next big idea. In any case, one of the best things you can do is expand the range and level of your business vocabulary. When you speak with confidence, clarity, and professionalism, you will be easy to distinguish from those who lack these advanced communications skills. You will easily convince your sales prospect of the value of your new product, your superiors of your value to the team, and your hiring manager that you are the best of the bunch.
Vocabulary is the new Fendi, and with EliteVocab, it is both affordable and accessible to all.
