Looking Good Helps Win the Job!
In a tight job market, what you wear to an interview could be the difference between getting an offer and getting rejected. "Nine out of 10 employers say, when all else is equal, they select the most attractive candidate, or the candidate that presents themselves the best," according to New York-based image consultant and personal stylist David A. McKnight.
Create Your 'Visual' Resume
Make sure your attire is sending the right message about your capabilities. Being the latest fashion statement is not a good idea. Show up in something conservative. Boring is better than outlandish.
Suit Up
Unless you're told otherwise, wear a suit or pants with a jacket to a first interview, no matter the occupation you’re entering. "A suit is a sign of respect for the company, as well as the person interviewing you," McKnight says. "It's always better to be overdressed than underdressed."
The Rules Apply
Knowing professional dress rules is critical, especially for younger job seekers. A male who doesn't wear socks to an interviewing firm won't be taken seriously, while a female should be careful not to bare too much skin.
Tradition Is Returning
More than one in three people say their workplace has gotten more formal over the past 12 months, according to a recent Yahoo! HotJobs poll. While Dress Down Fridays were popular for a while, more firms are opting for the more dressed-up look.
Put Your Best Foot Forward
Clothes may make the man, but don’t wear the wrong shoes, especially if they're unpolished. "When you look at men's shoes, if they're square toed, chunky, or have rubber soles, that completely destroys the whole appearance," McKnight says.

Skills Most Sought After by Employers
Certain skills are nearly universally sought by employers. If you possess these, you’ll get a job faster than your friend who doesn’t. So, what are the critical employability skills that employers demand of job-seekers? The following list is provided by Drs. Randall S. Hansen and Katharine Hansen, founders of Quintessential Careers, one of the oldest career development websites.
Communications Skills (listening, verbal, written). By far, the one skill mentioned most often by employers is the ability to listen, write, and speak effectively. Successful communication is critical in business.
Analytical/Research Skills. Can you assess a situation, seek multiple views, gather additional information that may be needed, and identify key issues that need to be addressed?
Computer/Technical Literacy. Almost all jobs now require some basic understanding of computer hardware and software, especially word processing, spreadsheets, and e-mail.
Flexibility/Adaptability/Managing Multiple Priorities. Can you manage multiple assignments and tasks, set priorities, and adapt to changing conditions and work assignments? Interpersonal Abilities. The ability to relate to your co-workers, inspire others to participate, and mitigate conflict with co-workers is essential given the amount of time spent at work each day.
Leadership/Management Skills. While there is some debate about whether leadership is something people are born with, these skills deal with your ability to take charge and manage your co-workers.
Multicultural Sensitivity/Awareness. There is possibly no bigger issue in the workplace than diversity, and job-seekers must demonstrate a sensitivity and awareness to other people and cultures.
Planning/Organizing. Are you able to set goals, design, plan, organize, and implement projects and tasks within an allotted timeframe?
Problem-Solving/Reasoning/Creativity. Can you solve problems using your creativity, reasoning, and past experiences plus available information and resources? Teamwork. Because so many jobs involve working in one or more work groups, you must have the ability to work with others in a professional manner while attempting to achieve a common goal.

Mohamed Sambou, Technology, Engineering & Communications High School student, was awarded the ACTSIX scholarship to attend Gonzaga University. The ACTSIX scholarship is a leadership and scholarship program that connects students from urban high schools to faith based colleges. There are three phases to the program in the final phase Mohamed was one of nineteen students to participate in an on campus experience. Eventually only ten students were chosen from our area for the scholarship.
The Evergreen campus was very fortunate because we had two students that made it to the final phase. In addition to Mohamed, Etevise Le’iato was a semifinalist for the ACTSIX Scholarship and has been accepted to Northwest University and Pacific Lutheran University.
