When I went to a workshop for networking for jobs last month at my local Employment office, a Human Resources person came in to talk to our group. She said there's about 500 or so resumes they receive daily. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but if she is trying to make me feel better, she failed! I am too not a competitive person. I'm so tired of "those" people saying what "we're possibly not doing. Excuse me, but I didn't know that the interviewer judges you on your clothes, hair, jewelry, and everything else. Am I applying for a job with which I have the skills or is this a fashion interview. Damn! I cannot afford to go out and spend $50 on an interview outfit, and I can never find anything decent on the clearance racks. Half of it looks tacky, or something I just wouldn't wear that's hidious looking. I think I put myself together pretty good whenever I do have an interview. I work with what I have in my closet, and if they don't like it, too bad! This HR woman told us that women should pin your hair up and don't overdue it on cologne, which I never ever would do, keep your nails short, wear a nice pair of shoes, you all know where I'm going with this. I've had interviews in the past where they were so nonchalant about it, and lazy, so they should think about how they're treating the job seeker. Well, sorry just had to vent.
