Tips
for Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder
1. Be sure of the
diagnosis.
2.
Educate yourself on yourself, the diagnosis, your direction, and your
personality/life.
3.
Coaching for yourself. Inform your family, your friends, and those
that are close.
4.
Encouragement. Encourage others to discuss you with you. As well
encourage others in their life.
5.
External Structure. Form your own external structure if you don't
already have one.
6.
Colour Coding. Colour code your life, and your work/school etc.
7.
Use spice and pizzazz. Be creative with yourself and with your
problem solving. Keep the excitement of yourself.
8.
Make a good/supportive choice of a significant other. They must
offset your creative mind.
9.
Have structured "blow out time". Time when you can expend
energy that is not used and needs to be exhausted.
10.
Recharge you batteries time. To meditate, form structure, think and
form plans.
11.
Make your environment what works for you, and suits your
style/thinking/organizing.12. Choose good helpful addictions such as
exercise, not chemical addictions.13. Use mood changes to your
advantage rather than disadvantage. Try to plan these if possible.14.
Try to avoid startling things...these will likely follow mini-panics,
with obsessing, and ruminating.15. Constantly educate and involve
others in your life, and form supportive networks for yourself.16.
Give up any guilt you have for highly active sports, or stimulating
behaviour.17. Learn to joke about your condition with others, and try
to mix in some explanation as well.18. Plan scenarios to deal with
small depressions in the day, and maintain some activity.19. After
success, expect some depression, this is because the goal has been
reached. There is no longer any need to work at something.20. Learn
shorthand ways of labelling, and use them for organizing your
life.21. Acknowledge and anticipate the obvious collapse of a certain
percentage of projects.22. Embrace the challenges that you encounter,
and do not avoid difficulties, by burying them.23. Make deadlines,
timelines, plans, calanders of things to do, and be very colourful
with them.24. Break down large projects into small ones. Like long
term plans into short term plans.25. Listen to the trusted feedback
of other family members, and special ones.26. Avoid procrastination,
and delayed reactions so that things can happen and do happen.27.
Schedule activities with friends, and co-workers, etc.28. Use time
outs as with children. You need some times where you can just think
meditate and relax, between.29. Learn how to advocate for yourself,
and get the help that you need from the community, and support
systems.30. Avoid premature closure...do not kill the project before
it has a chance to start.31. Find and join groups where you are liked
appreciated, and understood, and nature them.32. Don't stay too long
where you are not welcomed/understood/appreciated.33. Accept the fear
of things that going too well, and ignore it unless someone else says
something to confirm this.34. Try to let successful moments last and
be remembered. So that they will encourage you in your low times.35.
Remember that ADD usually includes a tendency to overfocus, and so
time yourself at these activities.36. Pay compliments, and appreciate
others fully, as they support you as well.37. Set social guidelines,
and maintain them, as you need to maintain boundaries, etc.38. Set
social deadlines with friends, relatives, and acquaintances. This
prevents being late, etc.39. Notice how long, and where you work
best, and work with this knowledge.40. Know that it is OK to do many
things at once if you have the energy to. This is good for speeding
things up.41. Do what you are good at, use your aces, and make these
known to others so that you can help them.42. Leave time between
appointments to gather up your thoughts, and organize your
activities.43. Consider starting, or joining an ADD group, for
support and edification. 44. Try to dispel negative energy in
physical ways that are non-destructive.45. Don't feel chained to the,
"usual ways" of dealing with stress or coping. Create your
own, and observe their effects.46. Exercise regularly and vigorously,
and schedule your recreation so that this can be so.47. Keep notes of
your feelings with a journal/notepad/thoughts.48. Read with pen in
hand, this really helps for focusing.49. Pay attention to eliminating
harmful addictions, and encourage positive addictions.50. Talk to
others w/ ADD and maintain these contacts, and nurture them.
Insight
and education:
Be shure of the diagnosis. Make sure that you are
working with a professional who really understands ADD and has
excluded related orsimmilar conditions such as anxiety states,
agitated depression, hyperthyroidism, manic-depressive illness, or
OCD.
Educate yourself:
Educate yourself and others about your
condition. Read/Read/Read, and discuss with many people about their
own treatments. You’ll be able to design a your own treatment,
and maintain your own health responsibilities.
Coaching:
It is
useful to have a coach, and for someone to keep after you. but always
with humor and a positive nature. Your coach can help you with
getting organized, and staying on task, as well as give you
encouragement or remind you to get back to task. A
friend/colleague/therapist(it is possible but risky for your coach to
be your spouse). A couch is someone to stay on to get things done,
and to avoid procrastination. A coach can be very helpful in
assisting with ADD. Encouragement. ADD adults need lots of
encouragement. This is in part due to their having many self-doubts
that have accumulated over the years. But it goes far beyond that.
More than the average person, the ADD adult withers without
encouragement and positively lights up like a Christmas Tree when
given it. They will often work for another person in a way that they
won't work for themselves. This is not "bad" it just is. It
should be recognized and taken advantage of.
Realize that they’re
many myths of ADD, and be aware of them.
There is a tremendous
value to others and the person with ADD for communication to be
active on the subject rather than passive. The reason for this is
that many people/ADD adults need to discuss the problem with others
to feel that they are accepted by them in the first place.
There
are many ADD adults who have a high energy level, and this can be
very distracting when the energy is not burnt off. This is why
exercise is necessary and required for ADD adults to maintain a
certain burnt out non-distractible energy level when dealing with
jobs/tasks that are low energy requirement.
Remember that what you
have is a neuropsychiatric condition; it is genetically transmitted.
It is caused by biology, by how your brain is wired. It is not a
disease of the will, nor a moral failing. It is not caused by
weakness in character, nor by a failure to mature. It's cure is not
to be found in the power of the will, nor in punishment, nor is
sacrifice, nor in pain. ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS>Try as they might,
many people with ADD have great trouble accepting the syndrome as
being rooted in biology rather than a weakness of character.
Try
to help others with ADD as this will assist you to know what ADD is
and is not in your mind and in others minds. You’ll learn lots
about the condition from others, as well as feel supported, which is
a two way street.

Structure is the hallmark of the non-pharmacological treatment of the
ADD child. It can be equally useful with adults, and very good for an
organized mind. Tedious to set up, once in place and is a habit and
routine structure works like the walls of the bobsled ride. Keeping
the speedball sled from careening off the track that it rides on. It
focuses energies which is what we are looking for in our daily life.
Make frequent use of lists, colour coding reminders, notes to self,
and rituals, routines as well as files. Colour coding. Deserves
Emphasis as many people with ADD are visually orientated. Take
advantage of this by making things visual, and easy to see (with
colour).Make colour you middle name, and put is central in your
organization system. Make something boring spicy and exciting with
colour. With colour be you can be creative in your organization, and
this again is an ADD trait. Set up the environment to be exciting,
and stimulating, and radical with colour, and to reward rather than
deflate.
Acknowledge that some of the activities that you perform
will fail, but even more that these downs will happen and do happen
to everyone not just you.
Embrace challenges, and consider them
challenges, this is positive and this is encouraging. People with ADD
thrive on challenges and as long as you know that they won't all "pan
out". Avoid perfectionism, and fussiness. You'll get allot more
done be able to keep positive about deadlines.
Plan scenarios
preparing for the inferable blaughs and depressing factors. Keep a
list of friends to call, and keep calling them...this is important to
your support network. Videos are great for this, as they take you out
of the blaghs, and depressing things.
People with ADD always
complain about feeling down after a big high...since the high has
been reached, and no more challenge is there anymore.
Learn
shorthand for sayings, and slogans, and ways of speaking that are to
the point and concise. Also learn ways of labelling and quickly
putting things into perspectives so that you may organize much more
effectively. Also, try to label your moods in positive ways, so that
others won't perceive you to be complaining. This makes it easier to
say what you want to say concisely.
Try to get of the defensive
bandwagon, as this gives others a bad impression of you, and
therefore they may not give you the same support if they feel
this.
Avoid premature closure and stopping before starting, this
needs no explaination.
Attempt to let the successful moment be
glued to your mind rather than the unsuccessfull. This prevents
dwelling on the negative rather than the positive.
Remember that
ADD ususally includes a tendency to overfocus, and hyperfocus at
time, so use a timer for these occasions so that you may keep track
of the time. Avoid rumination, or obsessing on things that should not
be paid so much attention to, as this will be a negitive
output.
Exercise regularly, and viciously, you should schedule
your recreation into your life, and stick with it. These things
should be easy to remember since they are things that you are
interested in.
Make a good choice in a significant other, since
you can offset your personality with someone else's
lifestyle/personality. This creates balance and a constructive
workable relationship.
Learn to joke with yourself, and with
others about your various ails/symptoms from forgetfulness, to
getting lost, to being tactless/blunt/foot in your mouth, etc.
Schedule your activities with friends, and adhere to these
faithfully, they are important for your well being, and support, and
your continued success.
Find and join groups where you are liked,
and are perceived as positive, etc. This will give you a support
network of people to be with and enjoy as well as be there when times
come by when times are tougher.
Obviously, don't stay long where
your not liked/enjoyed...and learn to read these signs.
Notice how
and where you work best...noisy room, quiet room, on the train,
listening to music, whatever. Children and Adults do best under
rather strange conditions, for different reasons.

AM 02/06/02Please print out.50 Tips for Adults with Attention Deficit
Disorder
1. Be sure of the diagnosis.2. Educate yourself on
yourself, the diagnosis, your direction, and your personality/life.3.
Coaching for yourself. Inform your family, your friends, and those
that are close.4. Encouragement. Encourage others to discuss you with
you. As well encourage others in their life.5. External Structure.
Form your own external structure if you don't already have one.6.
Colour Coding. Colour code your life, and your work/school etc.7. Use
spice and pizzazz. Be creative with yourself and with your problem
solving. Keep the excitement of yourself.8. Make a good/supportive
choice of a significant other. They must offset your creative mind.9.
Have structured "blow out time". Time when you can expend
energy that is not used and needs to be exausted.10. Recharge you
batteries time. To meditate, form structure, think and form plans.11.
Make your environment what works for you, and suits your
style/thinking/organizing.12. Choose good helpful addictions such as
exercise, not chemical addictions.13. Use mood changes to your
advantage rather than disadvantage. Try to plan these if possible.14.
Try to avoid startling things...these will likely follow mini-panics,
with obsessing, and ruminating.15. Constantly educate and involve
others in your life, and form supportive networks for yourself.16.
Give up any guilt you have for highly active sports, or stimulating
behaviour.17. Learn to joke about your condition with others, and try
to mix in some explanation as well.18. Plan scenarios to deal with
small depressions in the day, and maintain some activity.19. After
success, expect some depression, this is because the goal has been
reached. There is no longer any need to work at something.20. Learn
shorthand ways of labelling, and use them for organizing your
life.21. Acknowledge and anticipate the obvious collapse of a certain
percentage of projects.22. Embrace the challenges that you encounter,
and do not avoid difficulties, by burying them.23. Make deadlines,
timelines, plans, calendars of things to do, and be very colourful
with them.24. Break down large projects into small ones. Like long
term plans into short term plans.25. Listen to the trusted feedback
of other family members, and special ones.26. Avoid procrastination,
and delayed reactions so that things can happen and do happen.27.
Schedule activities with friends, and co-workers, etc.28. Use time
out’s as with children. You need some times where you can just
think meditate and relax, between.29. Learn how to advocate for
yourself, and get the help that you need from the community, and
support systems.30. Avoid premature closure...do not kill the project
before it has a chance to start.31. Find and join groups where you
are liked appreciated, and understood, and nurture them.32. Don't
stay too long where you are not welcomed/understood/appreciated.33.
Accept the fear of things that going too well, and ignore it unless
someone else says something to confirm this.34. Try to let successful
moments last and be remembered. So that they will encourage you in
your low times.35. Remember that ADD usually includes a tendency to
overfocus, and so time yourself at these activities.36. Pay
compliments, and appreciate others fully, as they support you as
well.37. Set social guidelines, and maintain them, as you need to
maintain boundaries, etc.38. Set social deadlines with friends,
relatives, and acquaintances. This prevents being late, etc.39.
Notice how long, and where you work best, and work with this
knowledge.40. Know that it is OK to do many things at once if you
have the energy to. This is good for speeding things up.41. Do what
you are good at, use your aces, and make these known to others so
that you can help them.42. Leave time between appointments to gather
up your thoughts, and organize your activities.43. Consider starting,
or joining an ADD group, for support and edification. 44. Try to
dispel negative energy in physical ways that are non-destructive.45.
Don't feel chained to the, "usual ways" of dealing with
stress or coping. Create your own, and observe their effects.46.
Exercise regularly and vigorously, and schedule your recreation so
that this can be so.47. Keep notes of your feelings with a
journal/notepad/thoughts.48. Read with pen in hand, this really helps
for focusing.49. Pay attention to eliminating harmful addictions, and
encourage positive addictions.50. Talk to others w/ ADD and maintain
these contacts, and nurture them.
Insight and education:
Be
sure of the diagnosis. Make sure that you are working with a
professional who really understands ADD and has excluded related or
simmilar conditions such as anxiety states, agitated depression,
hyperthyroidism, manic-depressive illness, or OCD.
Educate
yourself:
Educate yourself and others about your condition.
Read/Read/Read, and discuss with many people about their own
treatments. You’ll be able to design a your own treatment, and
maintain your own health responsibilities.
Coaching:
It is
useful to have a coach, and for someone to keep after you. but always
with humour and a positive nature. Your coach can help you with
getting organized, and staying on task, as well as give you
encouragement or remind you to get back to task. A
friend/colleague/therapist(it is possible but risky for your coach to
be your spouse). A couch is someone to stay on you to get things
done, and to avoid procrastination. A coach can be very helpful in
assisting with ADD. Encouragement. ADD adults need lots of
encouragement. This is in part due to their having many self-doubts
that have accumulated over the years. But it goes far beyond that.
More than the average person, the ADD adult withers without
encouragement and positively lights up like a Christmas Tree when
given it. They will often work for another person in a way that they
won't work for themselves. This is not "bad" it just is. It
should be recognized and taken advantage of.
Realize that they’re
many myths of ADD, and be aware of them.
There is a tremendous
value to others and the person with ADD for communication to be
active on the subject rather than passive. The reason for this is
that many people/ADD adults need to discuss the problem with others
to feel that they are accepted by them in the first place.
There
are many ADD adults who have a high energy level, and this can be
very distracting when the energy is not burnt off. This is why
exercise is necessary and required for ADD adults to maintain a
cretain burnt out non-distractible energy level when dealing with
jobs/tasks that are low energy requirement.
Remember that what you
have is a neuropsychiatric condition; it is genetically transmitted.
It is caused by biology, by how your brain is wired. It is not a
disease of the will, nor a moral failing. It is not caused by
weakness in character, nor by a failure to mature. It's cure is not
to be founding the power of the will, nor in punishment, nor is
sacrifice, nor in pain. ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS>Try as they might,
many people with ADD have great trouble accepting the syndrome as
being rooted in biology rather than a weakness of character.
Try
to help others with ADD as this will assist you to know what ADD is
and is not in your mind and in others minds. You’ll learn lots
about the condition from others, as well as feel suported, which is a
two way street.

Clothes
can be functional gear or a mark of individuality, or simply
something to wear. Right or wrong, impressions are made, according to
communications consultant Roger Ailes, in the first seven seconds.
Making the most of your clothes means knowing what to do with them
and where. Here's how:
OFFICE
Before you start shopping, ask
yourself three questions: What kind of office do I work in? What is
my role? What is my day like? What kind of image is the company
trying to project? What kind of image do I want to maintain? Whether
you work in a traditional corporate setting or one that is more
relaxed, there are several things you can count on, especially if you
are on a budget. The blazer, in navy or black, is a staple for less
formal corporate wear; the blazer is flexible in that you can wear it
to the office, as well as nonwork-related social gatherings. For
suits, its better to choose neutral colors like charcoal gray, black,
and navy--they are extremely versatile. Serious business attire calls
for a single-breasted black suit. Every man should own at least three
suits. Dress shirts--it's best to invest in white (which is the most
formal dress shirt color), cream or light blue. You should ideally
own at least seven or eight shirts to ensure that you always have
something clean to wear. You should own at least one pair of gray
wool or dark navy trousers--they will take you everywhere. To finish,
two pairs of black or brown shoes--laced cap toe or split toe, with
coordinating leather belts. If you find yourself attending two or
more formal events a year, it's also a good idea to invest in a
tuxedo. Other basic items: a dark-colored raincoat, a camel topcoat,
and an assortment of ties that can be coordinated with your dress
shirts. If budget allows, the one thing that should be changed with
some frequency is the tie. Tie styles and patterns are very timely.
Buying ties every season will help keep your look current. For
dress-down Fridays, pick out a few striped dress shirts with bright,
bold colors--to be worn without a tie; spread collars and French
cuffs are a nice touch.
Personalizing Your Look at the Office.
If
you want to add a kick or create a unique personal style, add vests,
different shoes, any number of colored dress shirts (such as dark
blue). Also try varying your color combinations and choice of colors.
Colored shirts, ties, and knit wear also add variety.
Casual
Dressing
for casual affairs is a lot easier than dressing for the office.
Recommended basics include dark washed jeans, cuffed slacks, khaki
trousers or tan chinos, a high-quality sport shirt (one that does not
resemble a dress shirt without a tie), at least one navy blazer or
sport coat (tweed), and finally, suede-finished shoes or loafers.
Dark tones or earth colors are more flexible than bright primary
colors or pastels. One of the easiest things you can do is to stick
with black. Black is easy and flexible. There's nothing as simple and
versatile as a black mock turtleneck, black trousers, and a black
blazer. You'll be zipping out the door in seconds flat.
THE JOB
INTERVIEW
You have two objectives here: survive the interview and
get the job. A few words about living through the experience: Look
your best. You will act more confident. Play it safe--wear something
that you don't have to worry about--no wrinkle-prone fabrics. It's
fine to be overdressed at the interview, but serious trouble if you
are too casual. Single-breasted suits in charcoal, gray, navy or
black are always safe. Avoid clunky or flashy shoes. Stick to subdued
solid-colored ties with small prints--nothing loud or
overbearing.
Traditional Fields
Business, law, medicine,
insurance, banking: Tailored conservative outfits are the best.
Nothing should distract from your main purpose: to do the job well
and efficiently.
Creative Fields
Journalism, publishing,
multimedia, advertising, graphics, art galleries: Your own style is
more important here. You are being hired by your creative talents, so
show them off in a subtle way, by dressing with personal flair. While
on the job, journalists in particular should learn to match their
wardrobes according to assignment.
Service Oriented Jobs
Retail,
restaurants: These jobs are about looking presentable. Try to get a
sense of what the company's style is before you go in for your
interview. Then adapt your own.
PUBLIC SPEAKING AND
TELEVISION
People often form their impression of you within the
first seven seconds of your meeting, so think about what your clothes
are communicating and whether it's helping you get your message
across. Wear comfortable clothes that you feel look good on you. You
will appear comfortable with who you are. Wear safe colors: neutrals
like navy and beige look good on television. Stick with blues, dusty
pinks, off-white, subtle stipes. Beware of patterned fabrics--they
may create a moiré pattern on the television screen. Wear
glasses with a nonglare coating. Dress the part. Don't wear something
that distracts from what you are saying. When delivering the message,
always consider who your audience is.

Dressing
For The Interview at a Business Casual Environment By Bob Larson,
CPC
Today is your big interview for the job you've been dreaming
about your entire life. Your best suit is fresh from the cleaners,
white shirt is pressed, new tie selected, shoes polished, hair
freshly cut and you're really confident. However, the people
interviewing you will be dressed in blue jeans, boat shoes and the
occasional clean tennis shirt. Should you change into your best jeans
or stick with the Brooks Brothers uniform to get the job?
In
today's world of business casual, dress down attire and beach-wear
office days, you probably have at least a fifty percent chance of
this situation being a reality. So what should one do? Dress like
your potential new employer or follow the traditional interview
uniform?
The answers from talking with many of those in the
staffing industry is pretty clear. The traditional interview uniform
is recommended by ninety percent plus of the employers we surveyed.
The majority lean towards the traditional blue suit, white
shirt/blouse, conservative dark shoes/pumps with appropriate
tie/scarf. Comments include, "Dress like the traditional IBM
sales representative". "The potential employer will treat
you with respect if you dress for business." "During the
interview you need to exude confidence and a blue suit is part of the
confidence costume."
One counsellor suggested that the
interviewee explain to the interviewer ahead of time that the typical
dress in his or her current work place is one of either business
casual or formal business, and then arrive for the interview in
typical current employer's attire. This will help discount the dress
and allow the new employer to judge you better on merit.
However,
the following story from the Bergen Record discounts this theory:
A
former men's wear clothing company executive recounts the story of an
interview he conducted to hire a personal assistant three years
ago.
The incident is still fresh in his mind because he was, in
his words,” appalled by the candidate's personal appearance,"
as were the support staff who saw her when she went in for her
interview.
The candidate arrived in a pink sweat suit, conscious
from the moment she walked in that she looked inappropriate. She
proceeded to apologize for her "casual" outfit by
explaining that every day at her current company was casual day. She
was "afraid to dress up" as she felt it would be noticed,
and that her co-workers would know that she was going on a job
interview.
Despite her apology, the executive didn't hire
her.
"You know," he said, "it's really too bad. She
was intelligent and very qualified, but I just couldn't get past what
she was wearing. She just didn't fit the image of what someone who is
trustworthy looks like to me."
Another recruiter offers the
following advice.” Dress in the attire that you look your best
in. Some of us have better jeans physique than blue suit bodies."
For
example, the other day I attended a great sales presentation given by
a major software vendor. The representative was dressed in chinos and
a tennis shirt. It was one of the best, most professional demos of a
product I've ever attended. Could it have been that because of the
casual dress, I trusted the content more? Would I have been even more
impressed if the presenter was dressed in traditional business blues?
I don't know. But I do know that I bought the product.
On a
lighter note, maybe you could interview in your panamas. The
interviewer will never know. It's a phone interview. Polish up that
voice. At least you won't get caught in the wrong designer jeans.
Does anyone wear them anymore? Even if you decide to go the pink
sweat suit route, a smile and good eye contact work wonders in any
environment. Good luck! and for now, stick with the blue
suit!

How
to dress for a job interview
Have you got a job interview lined up
but aren't exactly sure how you need to dress to make the right
impression? Here are a few pointers to help you present the best
"you" possible.
1. Wear something clean, pressed,
comfortable and neat. If you are comfortable in what you are wearing,
you will feel more confident. Be sure to choose shoes that not only
look nice, but fit well, to go with your outfit.
2. Dress
according to the job you are interviewing for. If it's an office job,
you don't want to show up at the interview in blue jeans and a tee
shirt. A button down shirt and nice slacks will do if you are a man,
and a dress or skirt suit would be a good choice for a woman. You may
want to check out the company's dress code before the interview -- if
the style of dress is more formal, such as suits and ties, checking
ahead of time will keep you from showing up in something entirely
wrong for the job.
3. Don't overdo the jewellery. A few simple
pieces will look much more professional than several large chunky,
gaudy items.
4. Now is not the time to wear that bright, bold
print. Select more subdued colors and prints for the interview. Dark
blues, solids, or blacks are always good choices. Try to present as
professional an image as possible.
5. Make sure your hair is clean
and well groomed. Your fingernails should be neatly filed and clean,
and if you wear makeup, take care that it is not smudged or
overdone.
6. Check your shoes. Do they need to be polished? Are
they run down at the heel or have cracked soles? You should wear the
nicest dress shoes you have, unless the job will require tennis or
casual shoes. Even then, your shoes should be as clean and neat
looking as possible.
7. If the job is a more informal one, then it
is acceptable to wear casual clothing. Just make sure everything you
select is clean and fits well. Don't wear anything that is too tight
or revealing, or that is torn, wrinkled or stained. Be sure to tuck
in your shirt tail.
Dressing nicely won't guarantee that you will
get the job, but it will be a good start. If you look attractive and
well groomed, you will feel more confident and that will make a good
impression on the interviewer. Good luck!

Interview
Attire
General Tips for Everyone
Be well groomed and
neat.
Iron your clothes the evening before.
Err on the side of
being too conservative.
Avoid wearing too much cologne or
perfume.
Avoid wearing too much jewellery; men lose the
earrings.
Shoes should be polished.
Wear clothes that are
comfortable to spend time in.
Always put your outfit on the
evening before the interview.
Present well-groomed
fingernails.
Tips for Men
Wear dark traditional suits with
a white, long-sleeved shirt (even in the summer).
Ties and socks
should coordinate well with the suit. Wear funky and colorful ties
and socks at other activities.
Tips for Women
Traditional
business attire consists of a suit or a professional dress (other
than lacy type of dress). Pay special attention to the length of your
skirt. Wear your short skirt at another function. If you can't sit
down comfortably, your skirt is too short. Depending on the culture
of the company, wearing bold, bright colors is acceptable.
Avoid
wearing makeup and nail polish that is showy and distracting.
Wear
shoes that are comfortable to walk long distances in.
Select
conservative hosiery without decoration or a lot of color.
What
about Business Casual Interview Attire?
Business casual dress has
found its way into the workplace but has been slower to be accepted
by employers and recruiters during the interview process. Granted,
there are definitely employers who are comfortable with business
causal interview attire, but there are also those who prefer the more
traditional dress codes, so unless you know for sure the preference
of your interviewer, be totally safe and err on the conservative
side.
Along these same lines, there seems to be a real war raging
about whether it is appropriate for women to wear professional pant
suits to an interview(other types of pants and blouses are totally
unacceptable). During a recent survey of employers conducting campus
interviews at Furman, 75% said they were comfortable with pant , but
25% still preferred suits or dresses. So, it really comes down to
your own personal decision. Do you wear a pantsuit and risk making an
unfavorable first impression or do you wear the more traditional suit
or dress and cover all of your bases?

this help does not usually include extra costs, like equipment.
Contact the local sports organization (baseball, softball, hockey,
etc.) to ask if they will waive or subsidize fees for children
wishing to participate in organized sports. Visit the "Sports
Organizations" section of the Richmond Community Services
Directory at www.yourlibrary.ca/volunteerdb.cfm for contact
information. Also see the KidSport Fund listing in this
directory.

This is some information that I gleaned from the
ola.bc.ca site.
Open Learning Agency is very friendly for people
with disabilities as their site claims
http://www.ola.bc.ca/text/services/disabilities.html
As
well the contact information for the disability off in OLA is tel.
604-431-3043and their Fax is 604-431-3361 their email is
dso@ola.bc.ca
The
services that are provided by the disability services office
according to this web page are
Course materials that are suitable
for the person's disability and alternate formats for learning are
therefore quite various and avialable.
There is also the student
aiding student program that is offered by the provincial government,
and accomodations for examinations are made available for people with
disabilites.
Extentions for time of courses are also available for
those that are disabled.
Program admission form on the website is
a link for the application form that is used to apply forregistration
at the OLA courses.
The site also states about the conditions that
need to met before one is considered to be disabled.
A
notification of disability form is also available to be viewed using
acrobat reader online at OLA.
