When you apply for a job, you will be asked if you have certain skills. For instance, your employer may want to find out if you are familiar with Microsoft Office software or if you can use QuickBooks or Photoshop.
When we start a job, our expectations are that we will love it, or at least enjoy it. From our early days of school, we are told to “work in a job you love”. As lovely as this sounds, this is life and nothing in life is as straightforward as we hope. There are bumps on the road, and this extends to our work lives too. Unfortunately, many people throughout their working years will find themselves thinking "Wow, I hate my job."
So you’ve done it. You went ahead and submitted your resume to a few companies, and you ended up getting a call back for a job you think is perfect. You know you have to make a terrific impression at the interview, and that includes finding the right thing to wear.
