Dress for Success
In job hunting you have to dress the part to get the part. Most companies have a dress code, which is easily determined by visiting their web site. Your goal is to fit in and look like the rest of their employees. So dress conservatively and make sure your clothes are clean and well pressed, your shoes are shined and your hair is cut. Don't wear distracting bling bling jewelry or heavy perfume or cologne. Do not smoke before the interview or the smell will cling to your attire. You may want to chew gum before the interview to assure that your breath is fresh but remove the gum before entering the employer's premises.

Each of us is blessed at birth with a special combination of abilities that equip us for our own particular work in life.

Never in the past, present or future has there been, is there now, nor will there ever be, anyone with the exact same potential that is contained within the twenty-three chromosomes that we received from our parents at conception.
