First off, a really good haircut is a necessity. Hair nicely combed and not odd colors. Young men should be clean shaven or if have a beard nicely trimmed. Young ladies nicely trimmed and combed. If you wear make-up should be understated not garish and loud. A good pair of nice dress shoes don't have to be high heeled for the ladies. It would be best to try and find a pair in black and brown no open toed. Young men should have a good belt in black and brown no baggy pants. Young ladies I know its hot but believe me managers notice when you don't wear stockings-so wear stockings. I know a lot of clothes are permanent press and don't need an iron but invest in one anyways you never know.
Second, a good portfolio or small briefcase to carry resumes and other essentials. This gives a more professional look. In that briefcase keep notebook and pens. Jobs notice if you don't bring your own pen to fill out applications. A good stack of resumes on resume paper. You can buy a pack at Wal-mart with envelopes included.
Third, some really good books with examples of resumes and cover letters and most definitely have someone proof read your resumes before sending out. Designate a separate email just for jobs and if they don't have a cell phone get them one so they don't miss any calls. Also check those clothing banks, I checked the local one this past week and I asked them about suits they were kept separate and you had to ask to get them. I got two brand new suits for kyle's job hunt. Hope this helps find those jobs good luck everyone.
