definition of presence

The concept of presence is used in our language to express that a person is in a certain place and also to indicate that something exists in a place and at a given time.

The presence of the president at the tribute was a gesture that the family appreciated. There is a greater presence of Argentines than Swiss in Brazil.

And there is another use of the term that is also very widespread, for refer to the physical aspect that an individual has.

When that aspect is characterized by being careful, that is, it has the basic and expected cleaning conditions, a clean and correct clothing, among the main issues, it will be said that that person has a good appearance. Meanwhile, when the situation picture is the opposite, that is, the person is dirty, has a bad smell and the clothes that wears him are torn and also dirty, we will say that this individual has a bad presence.

The presence that someone has is something that is observed and valued in our society, especially when it is positive.

Even in many situations and contexts, the presence that someone has is used as a parameter to define the capabilities they have or not, the expectations about them, as a point of reference to hire them for a job or not, among others.

In the workplace, a lot of value is usually given to the issue of presence. It is important by case when applying for a job that you have a good presence in order to make a good impression on employers or, failing that, on those who have decision-making power. It can happen that someone is hyperqualified for a position but if their presence is not liked, they may lose the possibility of keeping the job in front of another individual who does.

On the other hand, it is important that we take care of our presence when attending certain places and events that require certain observation of dress codes, especially so as not to clash or be discriminated against.

Discrimination is something that happens frequently with those who do not have a good presence. They are looked at badly, they are mistrusted, among other things.

Of course this is not right, but it is what happens in this society.
