The Wrong Look or Attitude Could Spell Doom If You Want That Job

In an ultra-competitive job market, every detail counts on a job interview.

The wrong look, the wrong attitude or both can sink an interview fast. A survey by CareerBuilder.com showed that 46 percent of 3,200 hiring managers reported job candidates were dressed inappropriately.

But with the right look, lots of research and the right attitude, image experts and career advisors say you can get yourself remembered for all the right reasons and, ultimately, hired.

“People say appearance shouldn’t matter, that it’s what’s on the inside that counts,” said Kelly Machbitz, a Clearwater, Fla., image consultant, “but it’s that first impression that counts.”

When deciding what to wear, think conservatively, said Frank Kelly, who was named Esquire Magazine’s “Best Dressed Real Man” in 2007. He works with clients at the Community Partnership for the Homeless in Miami, prepping them for job interviews and building their self-confidence.

Kelly said to try on what you plan to wear for a friend or family member before the interview and ask them what stands out.

When Doomsday Predications Fail

There has been a lot said about what happens to believers when doomsday predications fail. But, the media industry forgets to consider what happens to the masses of people whose lives are also affected by these progenitors of doom. History shows that there are people who project a sense of a special connection with God. Those who follow them do so as sheep being led to the slaughter.

So when these individuals get their prediction wrong the sheep are in denial and dismiss this huge debacle as though nothing as happened and happily return to fed on more of what they have been previously fed. Once again the masses have been emotionally scared and carry the baggage of these failures around with them. Let us not forget Jim Jones in Guyana and David Corash at Waco Texas. Only God knows the Day and the hour and He is not telling. So believers beware of who you listen to and who you follow.

The following is a list of 10 failed predictions:

       1.  The Prophet Hen of Leeds, 1806
       2.  The Millerites, April 23, 1843
       3.  Mormon Armageddon, 1891 or earlier
       4.  Halley's Comet, 1910
       5.  Pat Robertson, 1982
       6.  Heaven's Gate, 1997
       7.  Nostradamus, August 1999
       8.  Y2K, Jan. 1, 2000
       9.  May 5, 2000

The Model City

It's time to invite every citizen to the table to help mold and shape Jacksonville into a model American city. I am tired of us being a national crime city, a city with low national educational accomplishments, a city that smells, a city with a high unemployment rate, a city that does not embrace change, a city that does not embrace what could be. If you could see what I see what a difference it would make. My family roots pre-dates "Jacksonville", remember Cowford. My family has endured car bombings  beatings by rubber hoses, sprayed with fire hoses, called names I will not mention, because of our ethnicity. Our family has served in every war and in every way we have been asked. We are a proud military family as are many.
We are proud of who we are as a people. We love this, our city. It is time to move forward. This is the 21st century. We owe our children and grandchildren something better. We owe them a future that is bright, filled with hope and ladened with opportunity. We are an international city with residents from around the globe. What I am saying is we are all family. Let's show the rest of the country who we really are. Let's show the world. We can make a difference. Our country needs what we have to offer. We Are America.

Change Has Come to The River City (Jacksonville)

Finally, change has come to the city of Jacksonville, Florida. Alvin Brown has been elected, the first African American Mayor (Democrat) in a historic republican city. Winning over his opponent, Mike Hogan, by 1648 votes sends a message to our local government that change is needed and change has come. Two years in a row I told the city commissioners that Jacksonville is poised for greatness if it would embrace positive social change. We must come into the 21st century as a leader in educational reform, technology, community development, labor and public safety. In order to effect this needed change we must come together as one community, with one purpose. "Jacksonville:The River City that's changing the face of America."

Alvin Brown, the first African American Mayor of Jacksonville, Florida? I say yes!

In a race to close to call, Alvin Brown is poised to become the first African American Mayor of Jacksonville Florida. Absentee ballots are still being counted. He leads his republican opponent by 583 votes. Results are expected late tonight in this historic race. Remember, Jacksonville  has been a key republican city in a republican state. It is one of the two keys in the 2012 Presidential race.

Clebrate Mothers

The greatest gift from God is his son. God's next greatest gift is the gift of birth. Today we celebrate the  gift of life that comes from the womb of a special person. MOTHER!

The Face of Evil

He was evil personified. He used people and killed people, including women and children. The world needs to see the face of evil in its final form. America needs closure. The world needs closure. This is war. There is nothing pretty about war. Death is the reality of war. His death may not represent the end, but it does represent an end.

The Head of the Dragon

You will never hurt our people again. The head of the dragon has been removed. We are a people of peace. We seek to build relationships and community. Love is our cause.

The solution for high gas prices are higher gas prices. Hmmm?
