What NOT to Wear at ANY JOB Interview!!

What NOT to Wear at ANY JOB Interview!!!

June 5th, 2012


Okay, so, we posted this sort of as a funny on our Facebook & Twitter pages...but this really happened not too long after our post. Seriously, whether your're blue-collar, white-collar, pink-collar, green-collar...whatever color-collar (say that ten times really fast!) ...DON'T sport anything offensive to a job interview, or anywhere you visit in attempt to land a new job.

Furthermore, clean up. You might get dirty at your new job, but the interviewers won't want to see you looking "grungy" at your interview...help me, help you :-)

Where To Find a Blue-Collar Job in 2020

The United States is on track to generate 20 million jobs between 2010-2020, according to the latest projections from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But job creation will vary widely by type of job and also by metro region. The nation is projected to generate 7 million new high-wage, high-skill jobs for professional, technical, and creative workers, 10 million low-wage, low-skill service jobs, and 2.7 million new blue-collar jobs.

Today, we start with blue-collar jobs, which primarily make use of physical skill or manual labor. These include jobs in direct production as well as transportation, maintenance, and production.
Over the past several decades, the United States has seen a steady erosion of blue-collar work. Such jobs currently account for about 21 percent of all U.S. employment, a 2 percent dip since we last looked at the numbers in 2010.
But the BLS projects an additional 2.7 million new blue-collar jobs by 2020, spurred mainly by increases in construction and transportation.
The map below by Zara Matheson shows the projected growth in blue-collar, or working-class, jobs by metro area from 2010 to 2020.

Not surprisingly, the biggest metros top this list. Greater New York is (read more at http://m.theatlanticcities.com/jobs-and-economy/2012/02/where-find-blue-collar-job-2020/1255/ )
