What year is it?! 2013 not 1950 right?!

Today a jury found Zimmerman not guilty of killing Trayvon Martin. I am upset by the verdict, but I'm more upset that everyone is throwing out the race card! This is about murder, not race. Zimmerman knew the law in Florida well enough to get away with murder! This law is really wrong. Someone's son died and was murdered, we aren't out looking for the suspect, we just let him go free because of these loop holes in these laws. 

Please everyone stop throwing race into it, I really don't feel that had anything to do with the verdict. Maybe Zimmerman has a personal prejudice that's why he profiled that young man, but in the end it's the law that is unjust!

And that's all I have to say about that.

So you're looking for a job....wearing that?!

So today I am at a career workshop orientation, today was the first day to register so that this organization can help you find a new job. In the front row of the class is this woman that looked like she rolled out of bed, sweatpants, tee shirt...really!  I wouldn't hire you ever! Unfortunately the old saying is true, first impressions are what counts.

I have been hiring people for a very long time, this seems to be a normal practice regardless of age.

1. Please dress professionally, if you have nothing but a pair of khaki pants that's ok. 

2. Brush your damn hair & teeth. You should not look like you rolled out of bed and came in to apply.

3. Do not bring your whole family to get an application anywhere. I can tell you on one of the two jobs I've had in the past ten years, I got interviewed & hired on the spot!

4. Take the application home or out of the facility, don't ask to borrow my pen, something to write on, or a phonebook...be prepared.

5. Do yourself a favor and learn to print clearly, if I can't read your phone number clearly how can I call you back.

6. Last but not least, have someone else double check you before you leave the house. Look your best, be confident.
