What not to wear at a job interview.

Some job seekers haven't gotten the memo on dressing appropriately for an interview, according to a new OfficeTeam survey of more than 670 HR managers. The managers say that position candidates have shown up wearing beach wear, evening club attire, “fresh from the 1980s” looks and even sweatsuit ensembles. Clearly, OfficeTeam is trying to have some fun with this survey. But there's a serious, underlying message that can benefit IT professionals seeking work: It doesn't take an outrageous choice to be a bad choice. "Although these examples seem absurd, it's easy to make more subtle mistakes when selecting interview attire, particularly among those new to the job hunt," said Robert Hosking, executive director of OfficeTeam. "Ultimately, you want to project professionalism and confidence, and ensure your outfit isn't distracting or causing employers to question your judgment." That said, here are some colorful bad decisions we like from the survey, as well as tips on dressing to get—not lose—the position.

Patio Theatre

This is how its done when a community works together. This is a recent picture of the inside of the Patio Theater. A theater that had closed and was unsure if it would ever be open again.

The 1927 Patio Theatre was one of just a few classic moderately-sized single-screen neighborhood movie houses in Chicago not to have been carved up into multiple screens.


The Patio Theatre is located at the corner of Irving Park Road and Austin Avenue in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood.

The Patio's auditorium had a great Atmospheric style effect with twinkling "stars" and drifting "clouds" in a night "sky". The theater has remained unused since it closed in 2001. Work began in the summer of 2010, to restore, for a planned re-opening in early-2011.

Here are some more pictures...

Remembering September 11, 2001

Message from the First Lady on September 11

Good morning,




Nine years ago, nearly three thousand Americans lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Like many Americans, I was shocked and horrified by the attacks on our country. But I was also inspired by the heroism and selflessness of so many of my fellow Americans in the wake of this tragedy.



From the brave men and women of Flight 93 who sacrificed their own lives to save the lives of others, to the first responders who rushed without hesitation to help those in need, to the young men and women who chose to join our Armed Forces following the attacks - these tragic events united Americans in a remarkable spirit of solidarity and compassion.



It’s that spirit of selflessness and service that inspired the first September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance last year. On this day all Americans can honor the brave men and women who lost and risked their lives by serving others in their community.



Tomorrow, I will be volunteering with Mission Serve, an initiative bringing together civilian and military communities through service and volunteerism. Working alongside active duty members of the military, wounded warriors, veterans, military spouses and students, I’ll help renovate a community center at a retirement community for veterans in McLean, Virginia.



You can join me in participating in the National Day of Service by finding a service opportunity in your area on Serve.gov:

Kiddieland Gone

On June 30, 2010 on what would have been a very busy day at Kiddieland in Melrose Park, the well-known sign was removed. According to staff it took a little over an hour for the girl to come down. The boy was trickier and staff photographer Suzanne Tennant was there to witness it as crews used torches and crow-bars to pry the little fellow from the perch that has been his home since the late 50's. Passer's by stopped to look up while waiting at the lights and some even pulled over to take photos and video. One family from Park Ridge sat for much of the process to watch. Tammy Sako the mother commented, "It's like going to my grandmother's funeral." The Kiddieland lot will be occupied by a Costco but you will still be able to visit the sign thanks to the Melrose Park Historic Society. The sign will be placed somewhere near Village Hall.

A Message from the President

Good evening,



Today at 8 p.m. EDT, I will address the nation from the Oval Office about the end of the war in Iraq.



We are at a truly historic moment in our nation’s history. After more than seven years, our combat mission in Iraq will end tomorrow.



As both a candidate and President, I promised to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end. Now, we are taking an important step forward in delivering on that promise. Since I took office, we’ve brought nearly 100,000 U.S. troops home from Iraq, millions of pieces of equipment have been removed, and hundreds of bases have been closed or transferred to Iraqi Security Forces.



Our combat mission in Iraq is ending, but our commitment to an Iraq that is sovereign, stable and self-reliant continues. As our mission in Iraq changes, 50,000 U.S. troops will remain in Iraq to advise and assist the Iraqi Security Forces as they assume full responsibility for the security of their country on September 1. We will forge a strong partnership with an Iraq that still faces enduring challenges.



For nearly a decade, we have been a nation at war. The war in Iraq has at times divided us. But one thing I think all Americans can agree on is that our brave men and women in uniform are truly America’s finest. They have put their lives on the line and endured long separations from their family and loved ones.



All Americans owe our troops, veterans and military families a debt of gratitude for their outstanding service to our nation. Over the past few days, thousands of Americans have taken part in our Saluting Service in Iraq effort on WhiteHouse.gov, sending their messages of thanks and support to our troops
