As a military staff officer you can expect, sometimes, to have more work than you can handle but not always can you expect to be appreciated. However, my current unit awarded me a Commendation Medal for leadership and other achievements. Grateful for the win! And my OOTD is camouflage so no need for me to post that picture. 😂

I am not looking for a job. In fact I plan for the one I am working at now to be my last. I wanted to share some techniques that I use(d) when interviewing that has some benefits, some draw backs, but makes the interview more of a two way conversation than a "they" question and "you" answer their interrogation. 1. I do my homework on the company or person offering the position. If it is a corporation I look at their profit and loss statements, annual corporate stockholder reports, and comments and statements made by the corporate leadership. I want to be able to speak to what their goals are and if those goals align with mine. 2. I ask questions. I want to know what their view and opinions are on telework, health care, work-life-balance. Have in mind what is important to you and if that company is once again, aligning with your values. 3. "Why?" should I come work for you. "What?" makes you better than the guy across the street. 4. Pay scales. You know what you are worth. They are always going to low ball an offer. It they advertise a position with an expected salary range, then I expect to be hired at the top of that range. The number one overhead expense for any employer is salaries. I value my expertise, work history and time. I have an expected price tag. 5. Check out the surroundings. If you are interviewing on site, be nosey. Look around and see what the conditions of their offices and work environment are. Look at he break room if any. Bathrooms. How much do they value their infrastructure that I may be putting 40 hours of my life in each week. 6. Dress for success. Dress for the position you want to have. Pay attention to the small details. Be articulate, enunciate your words. Avoid slang and maintain eye contact. If it is a board interview make eye contact with each person. Repeat their question in the form of your answer. In the end thank them for their time. You can even follow it up with an email if you are focused on obtaining that position.

So this is my travel uniform when I fly for business. Any advice on improving this uniform while still achieving the simplicity, space-saving, and visual objectives stated below? Ex. I’m thinking of adding dark brown shirts to the mix in fall/winter for a little warmth and variety. Thank you in advance, oh Brotherhood of Style. The jacket alternates between a navy blazer, this navy sport coat, and a light grey, cotton sport coat. In warmer weather, I substitute the medium blue or black button down with a navy or black polo. Always dark wash denim pants. Pocket square rotates based on the jacket and shirt. Boots in fall/winter, loafers in spring/summer. I gravitate toward a monochrome look because 1) I’m vertically compact, and 2) dark colors hold up better while traveling. I never check a bag so this uniform allows me to deal with temperature changes en route, have the jacket ready for business casual receptions, and pack only a suit for business dinners. When I get to my destination, I’ll usually replace the dark shirt and jeans with grey trousers, a light blue/white button down m, and a tie for business casual meetings. Having a travel uniform keeps decision making to a minimum, helps me pack quickly and not forget things, and maximizes use per article.
