On August 15th we will be placing many of you for face to face interviews with employers at our Showcase event. Are You Ready? Look at yourself in the mirror and decide if you like what you see. Is there something you would like to change? If so, what is it?
If you would like help from the Job Club take a picture and upload it to your profile so we can critique it. Once we have reviewed your picture it can be taken down if you so desire. Sometimes the latest styles are not the best for job interviews.
We have promised our employers an array of presentable applicants. Our count of employers is increasing daily and their expectations are high. We have 15 days and counting until the event. Please understand that we will not allow anyone through to the interview table who does not look appropriate.
In our discussion we will talk about what is appropriate and we will answer all questions truthfully. We welcome your opinions.
