Yes, the tag line sounds a bit like a Target or Ross commercial, but it just fit!

So it is that time of year again. Graduations have been happening right and left, and people everywhere are looking for jobs. Of course, that has been the predicament ever since our economy decided to misbehave, but it will turn around soon, right?

More than ever, making a good impression the first time is critical in joining the professional world. Whether you are an official college graduate looking for your first "real" job  or if you are anticipating that fabulous summer internship, appearance matters and could help you land that dream job. As you begin interviewing, remember to take that extra time for makeup, hair, and putting together a strong look. Suiting can seem a little expensive, especially when you cannot afford these pieces until after you get the job. But dressing professional for less is not impossible.
