Job Hunting on a Budget

The Colorado governor will need to order all these supplies in bulk, at a 50% discount, plus, sales tax-free for all the U.S. Army, poor, minority, formerly, honorably enlisted who were recently, illegally laid off in great numbers due to: racism, disablism/disability discrimination,  classism, ageism, sexual orientation discrimination and sexism.

They are continually denied employment, fair housing, social security and VA disability compensation, food stamps, veterans' benefits due to classism, racism, and their veteran status.

Some high-ranking, affluent, Caucasian veterans are not assisting or recommending them, including the federal, all states' and all counties' governments.

This violates many federal laws, which are supposed to protect them and give them employment preference. The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action is also illegal and outright racist to military veterans and their families.

***Those U.S. Chief Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will all need to be investigated, for any previous cases they ruled upon, in a racist manner, by the FBI, NAACP and ACLU.***

***The FBI, ACLU, NAACP will all need to be involved in straightening this out for all of them and all of their families.***

Economical Picks (for Impoverished, Enlisted, Minority, Military Veteran Men):

J.C. Penney:

Comfort Travel Suits (Stafford brand, I think) in only solids:

Dark navy blue, dark charcoal gray, and black colors are best for interviews. No pleats or cuffed hems for the pants. Order from online, after trying them on in the store first. There are more colors and sizes available online. Also those suits haven't been tried on yet, so are more brand new.

They're lightweight, more moveable, European tailored/close-fitting, don't wrinkle and are better for summer-time weather, or sub-tropical climate interviews.

JC Penney also carries good V-neck, white cotton undershirts, short-sleeved, also.

Also, consider the JC Penney 100% silk ties, not the skinny or patterned ones. Get solid, medium blue, and solid, medium gray ties. Avoid tie clips or pins. Avoid flashy jewelry also.

Use a half-windsor knot. Brooks Brothers has a free, YouTube instructional video.

Men's Wearhouse also has free, illustrated tie knot brochures. Ask the sales person for one with the half-windsor knot instructions.

Ecco, black, matte leather, dress shoes with laces are a comfortable choice, paired with black dress socks.

Black, matte leather, narrow, dress belt and matching watch are another good, understated choice. Make sure your belt buckle is matte silver and plain. Center it to your belly button, matching up with your well-tucked in, dress shirt's "gig line" or button-up line.

Kohl's Chaps, Ralph Lauren, white, cotton dress shirts, long-sleeved, without button-down collars and without cuff link wrists are best on a budget. Their cotton is better woven, thicker, and combed better than at other stores.

Don't forget to shave off all facial and underjaw hair, and get a professional haircut. If going gray, dye your hair professionally also to your natural color before it started graying, due to ageist job interviewers.

Get a professional eyebrow trim, wax and tweeze two weeks before interviewing also. Clip your nails short, and use a nail brightening kit (from the drugstore) on all nails.

Nose and ear hairs should be trimmed.

Don't wear any cologne, or use any scented products, including scented hair products, laundry detergent or fabric softener.

For the resumes:

Create an online, linkedin.com profesional account without your references' personal/professional contact info, to protect their privacy. After you speak to the interested, verifiable company, headhunter or recruiter, email them your references' contact information upon request.

For that and your hard-copy/paper resumes, get a free gmail email address with your full name.

For the hard-copy resumes, use the heaviest-weight, bright white resume paper from Office Depot. You can also design and order business cards there on their computer terminal. Look for the plainest white or light gray ones, with an understated design, e.g. two vertical, black stripes on the left-hand side.

They carry dark, navy blue resume folders with business card inserts also. I love the portable, Mead, black, At-A-Glance organizor, monthly, with notes, #70-6S24 there too.

Office Depot, Staples, and Office Max also carry a limited selection of black, matte leather business card holders and hard-case suitcases. Pick the black, matte leather suitcase with a matte, silver combination lock.

Check the Wilson leather outlet shops for that too.

Footsmart (online) has diabetes-friendly, black, cotton/bamboo dress socks that are moisture-wicking, and seamless at pressure points. If you find good socks, get 24 identical pairs at least. That way you don't have a bunch of mismatched socks.
