What to wear to a Journeys interview?
So I have an interview at Journeys Wednesday. I've been laid off since the end of October so it's really important that I do my best to get this job. I'm not sure what to wear though. Should I dress more casually? Dark skinny jeans and a nice blouse. I also have a cute blue knit blazer. Or should I wear the same type of thing I wore for my interview at Kroger when I got hired there? (Khakis and a cute v neck shirt). Any suggestions appreciated!
What would you wear to a job orientation, or training?
Question: What would you wear to a job orientation, or training?Actually, the only person that can really answer this would be your recruiter. Ask to find out what expected dress code is for orientation.In many of my jobs, had I shown up in a suit to orientation I would have been way over dressed. Business casual was actually a bit too formal as well. The corporate culture will determine the expected attire as well the global location.Finance, banking, and consulting are typically semi formal or business attire here in the US. East Coast US vs. West Coast US will also mean that the dress code definition will be different. EC business casual is VERY different than what you would find in LA or San Francisco. So, to sum up: ask your recruiter or new manager what the expected attire will be for orientation. This is a completely appropriate question and is likely well received.
Is a Costco membership worth it?
"Worth it" is totally subjective. I think so. I'm a childless guy with a husband. I'm also a former Costco marketing manager. There are some advantages to being a Costco member. First, they unconditionally guarantee nearly everything they sell. You can even return the bones of a steak or the empty container if you don't like what you got. I returned a couch one year after I bought it without a peep from the membership desk. Second, if you get non-perishable sundries like kitty litter (me!), dish soap, toilet paper and detergent, the price per "usage amount", is unbeatable. While some perishable items will drive your cost up because of waste and gluttony (very real for most people), I make sure to not buy junk food from them. I get avocados and frozen berries at a fraction of the cost elsewhere. Lastly, there are some service areas that can't be beat. Their bakery is way above average for things like the All American Chocolate Cake, sheet cakes, cheese cake and French bread. Their travel service is great and their tire shop is amazing. But only you can decide if it's right for you. And, oh, if you care at all about how a company treats its employees, then Costco is a no-brainer. They treat and pay their people like gold. That matters to me and it should matter to you.
