Warning: The Wrong Interview Outfit Could Cost You!


Sleepless nights, sweaty palms, stuttering introductions - no, I'm not referring to meeting your significant other's family for the first time. I'm referencing the multitude of feelings you're likely to experience before your first interview. While I can't give you a cure for your sweaty palms other than clinical strength antiperspirant, I can help calm your nerves about what to wear.

There are three degrees of professional dress: professional attire (formal), business attire (mid-range) and business casual. Depending on the interview type (e.g., finance position, customer service, etc.), you can decipher which look will work best. I recommend always being overdressed rather than underdressed - first impressions are everything!

Mistrust. Now What?


Unfortunately, dishonesty and infidelity is a dilemma that dates back to biblical times.  So what do you do when the one you love has betrayed you?  Well, I've played that scenario out in my mind countless times, trying to prepare myself for what I believe to be inevitable, especially in today's society.  I'm sure that's not a healthy way of living or an advantageous thought process to have, but I feel in some ways it has prepared me for something that might ultimately materialize.
