If you want to be regarded as a serious professional, dress like one!
Guest Post from Kristyn Graham
DRESS FOR SUCCESS - Not sex. Leave the sexy, short, flimsy dresses/skirts, cleavage-baring blouses and spaghetti straps for your personal life. This is an office, not a cocktail party. Same goes for men, button up that shirt - nobody wants to see your chest hair!
PROPER SHOES - No sandals or designer flip-flops. This goes for men and women. We don't want to see your pedicure, your toe rings, the crust on your heels, or smell your feet. Nor do we want to see athletic shoes, or slippers, I do not care what designer made them. Business shoes please!
MAKE IT FIT - Anything that hugs the body too tightly is not right for the office. If you look like a sausage stuffed in a floral polyester casing, it's hard to take you seriously. Clothes should be tailored, fit comfortably, and flatter the wearer’s figure. The office is NOT the place to make a fashion statement!
DON'T POLLUTE - Go easy on the fragrance. Some people have breathing problems and allergies. Do not pollute the office with a scent that arrives 10 minutes before you do and lingers for hours after you have gone. This applies to both men and women.
BATHE - There seems to be a new "natural" cult popping up whose adherents believe that washing removes vital oils from the skin and should be avoided. This phenomenon is more often, but not always, a male habit. Anyone in close contact with others should bathe or shower DAILY. The use of antiperspirant or deodorant is also a MUST.
HAIR - Head, Body & Face. Hairstyles come and go, but the office is not the place to try out the latest trend. Professional men have short hair; Women’s styles vary in length but should always be polished. Wild, just got out of bed hair, excessively big hair, multiple color hair, unusual color hair, or greasy slicked 50s hair is a NO-NO! Women need to remove excessive leg hair or wear pants…nobody wants to see the forest, same goes for underarm hair! Men with facial hair should keep it neat and groomed. It goes without saying that women should NOT have any excessive facial hair.
ORAL HYGIENE - Keep your teeth and mouth clean and presentable. Make sure your breath is fresh. If you had spicy food for lunch or have issues with halitosis, keep mints or gum on hand for when meeting co-workers or clients.
MAKE UP - Make-up should be applied in a professional manner. The office is not the place to try out your new gold and purple glitter eye shadow. Professional means subdued, natural tones. Nobody takes a clown seriously, just ask Tammy Fay Baker!

Small Town Girl Wins Big!
Wit, skill, and just plain know how it what Sophie Clark used to out smart and out maneuver her competition in this season’s finale of Survivor on CBS. Held in the South Pacific, the winner is a 22 year old medical student from Willsboro, NY. Clark states that "I think I had my finger on the pulse of the game the whole time," after it was announced she won.
While watching the finale, I was at first a little skeptical about the whole thing since I am not much of a reality TV fan but some friends talked me into it and soon I began to lighten up once they clued me in on some of the history behind the show. For example, the infamous Uncle Russell who has frequented the series often but never won is such an interesting character that he was interviewed during the finale. His nephew Brandon was one of the competitors who just happen to give his immunity to another player (Albert) that made it to the final three. That a huge mistake.
Then there is Coach Wade. This season was his third attempt on the show. As the leader of his tribe, his big mistake was thinking that he could remain loyal to everyone. Guess what, he couldn’t, and that came back to haunt him when the jurors had to vote for the winner. Last be not least is the fan’s favorite Ozzy. Perhaps because Ozzy spent more time on Redemption Island than anyone else, he won more challenges than anyone else. He certainly increased his strength and endurance while he was there which made him a more challenging opponent. But all of his hard work paid off and he didn’t walk away empty handed. Fans rewarded him with the Fan’s Favorite prize of $100,000
Overall I must admit that the finale was exciting, exhilarating and so pleasant to watch a woman win Survivor. Go Sophie! You are the Sole Survivor.

10 Tips for Making Your Resume Stand Out
Guest Post by James Adams
If you are one of the 9.8% of people who are unemployed in the United States, then you need to spend some time making your resume stand out from the rest of the crowd. Employers receive mass amounts of resumes for every job opening and do not have time to thoroughly investigate each one. The goal of your resume should be to make yourself memorable. If you can capture the employer’s interest instantly, then you will have a better chance of getting an interview. Here are ten tips to help make your resume stand out.
1. Make Your Resume Relevant To the Job
In previous years, it was okay to have one general resume that outlined your career history and accomplishments. However, jobs are much more competitive now and employers are looking for those who are most qualified. When applying for a particular job, only include past jobs and acquired skills that are relevant to the position you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for a manager position, don’t include your cleaning skills.
2. Include a Cover Letter
Employers don’t just want to know about your job history and skills; they want to know why you are interested in working for their company. Show them that you know what their company stands for by including a cover letter with your resume. Include why you would be a good asset to them and how you intend to improve their company.
3. Use Proper Keywords
If you are applying online, it is especially important to use the proper keywords. Online application services often weed out unqualified candidates by searching for keywords in their resume. If you do not use the correct language when writing your resume, it could cost you several job offers. Pay attention to what the company is looking for in an employee and include those keywords in your resume.
4. Keep Page Number to a Minimum
Resumes that are three or more pages long are often not looked through by employers unless you really caught their attention in the very beginning of it. It is exhausting after 100 resumes for a human resources representative to examine a three page resume. Keep your resume concise and try to keep it at one or two pages long. If you go over that, you better have some really flattering information on that third page.
5. Keep it Neat and Tidy
Employers are looking for candidates who know how to be professional and your resume is a good indication of that. Do not write in paragraphs because it does not look neat and no one is going to want to read it. Use bullet points to describe your job duties and accomplishments. Choose a font style and size that is easy to read and looks professional. The easier to find the information, the better, so make sure you have plenty of white space.
6. Include Most Important Information First
Whatever you want the employer to know first should be on the first half of the first page. If you have more than one page to your resume, the person viewing it will not look on the next page unless you have already captured their attention on the first page.
7. Highlight Your Accomplishments
When describing what you did for a previous job, don’t just list your job duties. List what you accomplished at that job. Employers want to know how well you performed at previous jobs, not just what you were required to do. This will help employers know what kind of potential you have.
8. Check for Spelling and Grammar
The worst mistake you could make on a resume is a spelling or grammar mistake. Having great communication skills is important to employers and if you can’t communicate the English language properly in your resume, they will just move on to the next. Make sure to proofread and spell check your resume.
9. Include Most Recent Career History
Employers typically like to know your past ten years of work experience. Anything before that is usually irrelevant. If you feel the need to include a job you had more than ten years ago, make sure it is very relevant to the job and is a job you accomplished a great deal in.
10. Include Volunteer Experience
Including volunteer experience in your resume shows employers that you value something other than money. It shows them that you work hard at everything you do and that you spend time doing things you care about. It also shows them that you have good character and excellent morals.
