You Want a Job? You Need a Suit.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Express for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

The simple truth is that most people don’t own suits like they once did. These days having a nice looking suit at a job interview can make all the difference. It can make you look relaxed and in control if you are comfortable in your suit. EXPRESSmen's suits

The big problem with suits is not just that they are expensive but that so many styles exist that it is hard to know what you should get and in what kind of color. Add this to the embarrassment of going into a men’s clothing store and asking for help with something you have never done before and you have a recipe for disaster.

Enter Express Business Suits, an online retailer of suits that has only styles and colors that are cool and fashionable. The cuts of suit that they offer are designed to be comfortable to a non-suit wearer and they are very competitively priced. Most full suits not exceeding $400.

It gets better, right now they are giving everyone who likes them on Facebook a chance to win a $500 suiting makeover. That’s a shot at $500 worth of job interview confidence just for liking them. Express sweepstakes

They also offer a good deal of very sexy business suits for women. I am not a sound judge of what is hot in women’s fashion but these suits look quite good to me.EXPRESS

Take a look and think of what you could do with a new suit or two. Maybe you would get employer’s attention.

The reality of it is that a suit that you are comfortable in is better than one that you are not sure about. Get a suit and hit the street.

Comments in the comments section on which suits you like would be much appreciated by readers with poor fashion since.

This could be the start of something

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Untitled Jersey City Project for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I would like to start by saying that I don’t really care for the kind of show that is FX’s new “Untitled Jersey City Project”. However I am a massive proponent of innovation in all media, and this could be a big one.

From the trailer and the first episode that I watched online Untitled Jersey City Project is a typical, if well filmed and acted, television crime drama. The cast is pretty and the acting is good. The camera work I quite liked, it took its time and served the story well. I am always a fan of good camera work.

The innovation of the show is none of those things but the way it is being marketed and distributed. It is being produced in three to five minute episodes that have many of the same characters but they are non-linier in time and make no effort to connect themselves together. Each episode is part of a larger storyline but the nature of that story is open to interpretation.

This is cool because it could be a new way of marketing television. Lots of series have short webisodes but this is different I think. I suspect that this is just small pieces of the shooting scripts for the first few episodes of a proposed series on FX and instead of commissioning a pilot and making the decision to order further episodes from that alone they have produced these few little snippets of episodes that encapsulate tiny storylines on their own and put them out for us to decide if we like it or not. In essence this is the power of decision whether this will be a produced series on the network is given to the people that will watch the series.

I love the idea of the viewers deciding what they want to watch over the networks trying to tell us what we want to watch.

Give this a look because it could be the start of something very big. Let me know what you think in the comments section. did you like it? do you think this is a good idea?

I have said before that I only use pre-paid cell phones. I hate contracts.

If however you have a contract now imagine being able to say this; ”I love the idea that I feel richer with Straight Talk because I cut my cell phone bill in half. You have to be crazy to be on a contract these days when you can get everything you need without one.” Android on Straight Talk

Now engage in a little thought experiment. Imagine the amount of money you could save switching to Straight Talk. There are no contracts, no surprise bills and no credit checks. They have great nationwide coverage and excellent reception/connectivity. Now what would you buy with the extra money you save?Hook, line and sinker
