Dressing For An Interview

May 29, 2007

I wanted to put this up earlier last week, but I have been pretty busy and haven’t had time to sit down and write out some material. So, because I am lacking with some good, substantial material, I thought now is a better time than ever to help a brother out. The list that follows will guide you through the grueling stages of a job interview. I know I sometimes wonder if I over/under dressed going into an interview. So for your convenience here is a list of how to enter into the land of opportunity. Godspeed.

LEAST RECOMMENDED <-> MOST RECOMMENDED

1.Wear a matching suit in navy, black or gray (pinstripe or solid) or wear a navy blazer and gray dress slacks. They serve as a visual background that draws the eye to the face.
2.Wear white or a light blue dress shirt that contrasts with the jacket and/or tie. Typically, arms should be covered to the wrist. Exposing arms by rolling up your sleeves is interpreted as less powerful and is less formal.
3.A (silk or silk-like) tie should coordinate with the jacket and pant but choose one that strongly contrasts with the color of your shirt; selecting subtle or simple patterns enhances credibility.
4.Socks should be calf-length or above the calf. Choose natural-fiber blends that allow a flow of air and do not hold in perspiration and heat. Choose colors such as dark blue, black or gray.
5.Wear conservative, clean, and polished shoes.
6.Select lace-up (not slip-on) dress shoes. The color should be dark or blend with pant.
7.Select a leather belt that visually blends or matches your shoes.
8.A short hair cut and no facial hair is expected.
9.Minimize jewelry. Avoid a necklace. Wear no more than one ring per hand and a dress watch. Be sure all jewelry supports a focus on the face.
10.A full-length coat can be worn over your suit; avoid casual coats.
11.Cologne should never be strong. A fragrance can cause an allergic reaction or offend the interviewer. When in doubt, do not wear cologne.
12.Your briefcase is part of visual effect; consider a simple portfolio as an effective substitute, and try to select a color that supports your visual effect.
13.Learn how to tie

Thanks WSU for your fine advice.

Female Friday

May 18, 2007

It’s the end of the work week and that means Female Friday for all my viewers. Last week the first Friday girl was the one and only Christina Aguilera. Not that she is one of my favorites, I just couldn’t help myself and had to share the hott ‘ass’ picture of her.

Anyway, I have a real treat for you this week. And it comes in the form of Megan Fox. Yes, her name does fit her description. There is no doubt that this young, up and coming actress is a fox. She was in the movie Confessions of a Tennage Drama Queen and more recently the fairly funny tv sitcom Hope & Faith. Three beautiful women in one show?! Hard not to catch atleast one episode. And later on this year she will be co-staring in the movie Transformers, which I am pretty pumped about.

So without any further ado, your female of the week, the 21 years old beauty hailing from Tennessee - MEGAN FOX.

Theory of Medical Billing

May 17, 2007

hospital2.jpg

A co-worker of mine just recently returned to work after a week off for hernia surgery. Hernia surgeries are pretty common place in the medical field these days and a good amount of patients get discharged the day of surgery. So you can imagin then that this surgery is very minor in comparison to some others. Anyway, he was back on his feet in a day or two and took the rest of his time wondering how the hell he racked up such a high medical bill. The total cost from the time he was admitted to the time he left the property was a little shy of $5,000. Considering he spent the night, that probably tacked on another $500-$1,000. Either way, 5K can break anyone’s piggy bank. The surgery was done laparoscopically, some general anesthesia, a few small holes and voila (vwah-lah). A few comforting words from the surgeon and a thank you for your money.

Question: How much should an individual be billed for health care services? Answer: Depending on who you refer the question to, it could range from $0 - infinite amount. The reality, in my opinion, hospitals and other medical offices seem to fall a bit right of center on your bell-shaped curve. Which I guess in most cases seems fair. They spent a lot of time and money to get to the postion they are in, so why shouldn’t they charge an arm and leg. And depending on the procedure, location, tenure of surgeon and your health care provider, those numbers could drop (which they never do) or skyrocket (which they always do).

So, my theory is this…$1,000 per article of clothing. Makes sense, right? Now of course there are some flaws in my theory because some surgeries run in excess of $20,000. But as I mentioned above, the price rises depending on procedure ect. But the base price holds strong at a grand per article of clothing removed. In my co-workers case, it works out. Once you have to put on the little hospital night gown, BOOM!!….$4,000 off the top. I know I could be reaching a little here on this theory, but who knows, maybe there is some truth to it. What do you think?

Do You Think I Need A Mascot?

May 15, 2007

Can I win a mascot at BloggingTips.com?

hitpromascot.jpgAs I do everyday, I search the websites of my ‘Read These’ links to the right of the page and came across this little post on BpBc. Normally I do not steal material from other people’s websites, but this one seems to be fair game. So, I did. And apparently it is a contest, so I won’t be the only one adding this to my site. Which, yes, makes me feel a little better about lifting this post from another’s page.

In any case, I am hoping I can win a mascot at BloggingTips.com because my page is pretty low grade and could use a little boost of professionalism. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to create a layout. Maybe the guys from Bloggingtips.com can hook me up with a new layout instead of a new logo if I do win a mascot at BloggingTips.com.

And if I don’t win a mascot at BloggingTips.com atleast I got to put that kick ass picture in a post and link win a mascot at BloggingTips.com over and over again.

Let it be known that I have no shame.

Nude Exercise

May 15, 2007

nudeexercise.jpgIf you’re one of those gym patrons who feels uncomfortable wearing the spandex and muscle shirts, FEAR NOT! A Dutch gym owner is going to take care of that for you by offering Naked Sunday. A day in which all gym members can come and workout in the nude. They can get buff in the buff.

Apparently, he had some passing conversations with some members who are active nudists, and thought, why not bring that lifestyle to the gym. In the land of wet dreams, this is a great idea. Can you imagine what it would be like to walk into the gym and find that hot chick you always wanted to see going 100% on the eliptical machine bare ass naked? I’m sure we all could imagine that, but unfortunately, that is NOT what you would get. The only people who would take advantage of the Naked Sunday would be the active members who are nudists. Have you ever seen what a true nudist looks like? They certainly do not look like her…rather her.

Yeah, nasty I know. And ladies (gay men), don’t think you are getting off any easier. The guys on the bike in the picture above, are the only type of men who will be dropping sack on the seat. Is that sanitary, you ask? Well, Patrick de Man (owner - and real name) did say all members will have to sit on a towel, and the machines will be immediately sanitized. Gee thanks, I feel so much better now.

Top 10 Most Alluring Women on Tv

May 13, 2007


10. Jenna Fischer (Pam Beasley - The Office)

pros: great note taker, excellent sense of humour, uncontrollably cute.

cons: receptionist for life, works in Scranton Pa, must attend all Dunder-Mifflin functions.

Lucky for her, I couldn’t put Olivia Wilde on my list because The Black Donnelly’s has been cancelled. But, she did make the list over the other potential candidates. Main reason? In the last episode of The Office she walked across hot coal. And that gives her the 10 spot.
