Go confidently in the direction of your Dreams. Live the life you've imagined!
-Henry David Thoreau-
You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.
-Alan Alda-
If you’re still chasing your dreams, you’re not running fast enough!

Business Attire for Job Interviews
I am not the best dressed student at Sul Ross, nor am I a model, but we business students must be familiar with proper business attire. Most students around campus roll out of bed and into class wearing pajamas or workout clothes, a habit that will not fly when they join the workforce. I don’t intend to exclude the females, but I know absolutely nothing about women’s fashion. Here are a few of my suggestions when heading to your first job interview.
It all starts with a white shirt that has a spread collar, which is common on most designer shirts. I personally like the French cuff, which has two layers and folds over, and requires cuff links to attach the cuff. Be sure to know your neck and arm length measurements prior to purchasing your shirt.
The three key elements that go into choosing a suit are price, style and quality. The three-button suit is an excellent option for men taller than six feet because the buttons on the jacket reach higher up on the chest, making it more comfortable and visually appealing. A two-button suit that lacks unnecessary extras is timeless, so it won’t ever go out of style.
The shoes and belt should all be the same color, and must match the color of your suit. Be sure to have your shoes shined and wear socks that are a similar color to your shoes. Don’t forget to use a maximum of three sprays of your favorite cologne.
Top off your look with a tie. The double Windsor knot is large and meant to fill a wide collar, and is commonly used by business professionals. If you do not know how to make this knot, YouTube has how to videos…that’s how I learned. Turn your cell phone off and be sure to wear a watch to signal that you are a timely person and respect deadlines.
