Fashion tip gang – for those of you who use heavy amounts of profanity in your blog posts, tweets or Facebookin’ you may want to tone it down a little as well as the images of you boozed up and having rowdy times.

If you are out of work, unless you are going to work at a strip club or as a wildcat party person, do you think a business person would hire you?

“Ah, Miss Jones, I see in your profile on Facebook that you really enjoyed partying last night with the Los Angeles Dodgers. You okay? That picture of you looks like you might have had a bit of too good of a time.”

“I see that you like the outdoors. That is going to be a plus since the marketing position that we are considering you for is for electronic billboards outdoors and we are having issues with getting the local communities to accept it. I am sure with your skillset that you are perfect for convincing local church, synaogue and mosques that outdoor billboards are just another way of having fun.”

“Judging from your relaxed attitude I think that you are perfect for handling the day to day issues that are the nature of our marketing business. I think that there is a strong possibility that it might be a good fit for our company.”

“The one possible deal breaker is that you seem to have blogged about your last job and boss very profanely and it still is an issue to me as to what part of the donkey he was – was it the front or back part? If you can clear that up for us we can go ahead and give your resume the appropriate determination that it deserves. I have to warn you that we have other contenders for the job.”

“It is going to be a tough choice if it comes down to hiring either one of you. Both resumes show the relaxed attitude that we want and we can see that you are living down to our expectations.”

Watch what you put and say on the Internet, gang! Have a safe and happy May Day – and no pictures!

Profanity and Your Career

Have you noticed that wherever you live, if you have cash, you can get anything you want shipped to you from all over the world? This is the miracle of a global economy and now, part of the curse. Because of over-production, hoarding and people being out of work, there is a glut of manufactured goods like automobiles, dishwashers, big screen monitors, you name it- there is a lot of it. The problem? People can’t afford it. Folks are hanging onto their money because they are scared that things are going from bad to worse.

It sure seems that way at times and with total dependence on long supply lines, “just in time shipping” and warehouses with goods half a planet away, people everywhere – especially in the United States – need to start developing their own economies by starting businesses. I applaud the Administration’s work with the infrastructure construction. Bridges and highway building cannot easily be outsourced and cannot be bootlegged as a download. It creates work and the workers will spend their money here in the US locally. We need more jobs and we need to have all of us write our leaders and tell them to change tax laws to make them favorable for business. We need more government programs where actual development and construction gets money pumped here at the grass roots where we need it.

On a lighter note, please check out my book on “Practical Gaming” available on Amazon. One of my readers actually took my advice on his $200 No Limit Poker play (as well as info he said he gleaned from my other books) and made a nice $1500 profit at a $200 NL table. Great work, Casey.  My books are written and published here in the United States.  Part of all my book proceeds go to Rett Syndrome Research.  Thanks again for being here and be healthy, safe, happy and wise.  May your prosperity increase as well.
