Interesting article from Career Builder that we found on AOL today...

You'd be surprised what people feel it's okay to share on an interview!!!

What NOT to Wear!

No, it is not ok to wear your hot pink macrame mini skirt on an interview. True story! I once interviewed someone who was in transition and was looking to temp while she looked and came in wearing exactly what I just described!!!

Please always dress appropriately for an interview...as they always say, first impression is everything. Maintain a polished apperance when job hunting. Please!!!

Good rule of thumb: No matter who you interview with, wear a suit! You can't go wrong with black, grey or navy....

Enjoy your day!

2008 Grads...

It's that time of year again. We are steadily approaching May and it's time for college seniors to say goodbye to the good life and enter the real world! The bottom line for grads this year is --DON'T WAIT!! The days of taking the summers off to travel and taking your time looking for a position are long gone in today's market.

Now is the time to get serious. Do you have a career fair coming up at school? Attend it! Dress the part, get some copies of your resume together and get out there. If you have attended those fairs start applying for jobs directly and through agencies. Don't rule out temping as a possible way into a company, you never know what temp job could end up a temp-to-hire!!!
