 | Vol. 12 No. 68 - ISSN: 1533-3698 May 21, 2011 Dear People: On the subject of attire for work, here's another issue that goes around, comes around, every year - panty hose - or the lack thereof. So, every year about this time, I resurrect my polls. I need to draw a line between what's old-fashioned and what's currently deemed appropriate dress for work, job interviews, and employer-sponsored civic events. Young people and older people seem to have differing views, so that makes for an interesting generational discussion. The young employees are winning though. In the spring time, proper work attire receives lots of attention. While we're talking about what employees ought to wear to work in a variety of settings, I'd like to start the discussion with a smart eighteen year old's perspective (you know the exact kind of young person you'd like to hire in a couple of years). Find out more about the debate and vote in my two polls. Have a marvelous weekend. It's sunny here and it's art fair weekend. What more could I ask for? Do you know that I write a new blog post every day? Check out the blog in the center column on my home page. Comments, questions, suggestions? Email Me. Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, because you want to add value to their work and lives. Regards and wishing you and yours the best this weekend, Susan | |

| Why Shine at an Internal Job Interview?
A reader asks,"I have a presentation to make to an interview board, followed by an interview tomorrow, for a position for which I am afraid I am not being seriously considered. I am not being defeatist; it is just that I am fully aware who is ear marked for the job. I have in fact been told as much. I do, however, want to give a good account of myself, but I am finding it difficult to motivate myself. What do you recommend?" Lots.
