Hats, Short and Long Sleeved Tshirts, Sweatshirts for Job Hunting


 

Hats, Short and Long Sleeved Tshirts, Sweatshirts


Baseball Cap

I saw someone featured on the news who wore a sandwich board all summer and was able to find a job as an office manager with an accounting firm. I saw another story on CNN about a woman in California who wore a t-shirt like the ones you'll see on this site and has been getting interviews.

The game of networking sometimes is just to get the attention of people and be able to strike up a conversation. Being creative can be fun and successful.


I found this site, HeadHunterShops that has casual clothing like the hat above. I think the most expensive item was a sweatshirt in the low $30's. Tshirts are in the teens (or low $20's for an organic t-shirt). I think caps are in the teens, too.


Have fun!
