So moving back to my home town means.......job hunting and not just me myself my best friend broke up with her boyfriend which I talked about it in my post Heartbreak (Go ahead and read it for some insight) but I dress up and look nice just to pick up an application for a job. So I thought I would give a little advice on how to present yourself when job hunting. Just remember this is my opinion and just a little advice it's not personal. I made my friend change shirts before she went into an interview I literally said to her and I quote
She just got off work at her family sandwich shop so she had a shirt that wasn't in the best of shape the appliqued letters were coming off (Morgan if you're reading this I love you and I'm sorry) So I went to my closet and picked out a nice shirt and handed it to her. Now there are 2 different ways to go to and 2 different ways to dress.
So for an application pick up here is my list of dos.
"You are not wearing that"

| This is what I wore to work on time and I just had a good pair of jeans on |
So for an application pick up here is my list of dos.
- Nice shirt (no holes no stains)
- Nice pants (no holes no stains)
- Look well groomed so guys are cleaned shaven girls have your hair under control
Those are 3 easy things to do you don't have to be in dress pants and a dress shirt. I guess a way to put it is look like you are going on a first date. Not all places you need to wear dress pants and all I don't have a decent picture of a guy dressed up that would look nice.
My don't list was pretty much already said look like you are going on a first date look nice. It only takes .2 seconds for a first impression. The other photo I have up is a don't sweatshirts are a no go if I was an employer I would not higher you. You want to look like you care to take pride in what you look like.
I know I sound harsh but that's life, life isn't going to hand you everything you want or need that's why it's important to work. I have Epilepsy as you peoples know some people won't hire me because of that they may say they aren't hiring me for a different reason or not give me one. It may be my insecurity to but when I have an interview I say "Hey I have Epilepsy" I know I don't have to tell them but I do.
I'm getting off subject kind of but confidence is one I know it's said a lot but it's true. Also eye contact not to much but not to little this is a little harder to figure out because you don't want to be to assertive but not to submissive. This is going to be a weird analogy but have an attitude like a dog when a dog is to dominate to another dominate dog they fight.
A submissive and submissive dog one tries to dominate the other you want to balance everything out so you aren't submissive and get dominated but don't be dominate and not see eye to eye with your future boss.
