#Vacation101
Remember in the movie Grease when Sandy (I think it was Sandy) said she couldn’t go out on a Saturday night because she had to wash her hair? My excuse is the PR budget end-of-year hell I have to finish before I leave for Palm Beach on Monday.

WHAT DO I WEAR ON A JOB INTERVIEW?
This is a anxiety-inducing question for many, but yet the answer is so simple. You need to dress as if you actually HAVE that job. So, if you are interviewing for a brand, dress in the spirit of that brand. The person sitting across from you needs to be able to picture you in that role. So make it easy.
