How to dress for a job interview: Take 2

Some of you might remember Kristy and Katie Barry from this NYTimes article that came out last year. The identical twins are in toughing it out in Manhattan, struggling to land their very first JOB. Well, over 150 cover letters later, they are still trying to find work. I feel your pain, ladies! 

While the gals have fab personalities, their professional demeanor needed a little help. Who better to make them over than Felix Mercado, the stylist for NYC Media's show Job Hunt! Remember him from this post? He's not scared to put the smack down on style. I had a hard time accepting his advice about not wearing head-to-toe black to an interview, but deep down I knew he was right. (Are you happy? I admitted it. YOU'RE right, damnit!)

Check out the recap from last night's episode:

Loved the tutorial, Fe! The twins look totally profesh. A source told me they've been on an interview spree lately, so it looks like those tips just may be working! And geeze, where were you a year ago when I made this interview outfit blunder? Cleavage, bangles, Oopsie! 

Have YOU ever committed any of these fashion crimes? How important is your interview outfit to you? For me, it can totally make or break my confidence!

Mayor Bloomberg risks his left index finger for New Yorkers on Groundhog Day: "It's just a part of being a full-service Mayor."

Wow, I've had such a fun day! I went to the press conference for Job Hunt this afternoon where Mayor Bloomberg announced the premiere of the show tonight. It was an intimate gathering, so I felt pretty cool to be invited. Just another day in life, right?!

Check out the vid below for the Mayor's story on how he risked his left index finger for all of us last year on Groundhog Day—now that's dedication. 

                 

I also asked the Mayor for his advice on my current unemployed sitch, but you'll have to check back later in the week to hear his response. He was super-cool, and stopped to take a few pics with me even though he was rushing off to his next appointment! Geeze, I'm starting to feel guilty that I blamed him for the fact that NYC is trying to turn me into a cupcake-gorging fat ass in this post. (Insert foot in mouth). I take it all back.

Ok, I'm off to yoga class—I need to hurry back so I can watch Job Hunt at 9pm!!!
