Re: nursery interview apparel

Kitty - You would be such an asset to any nursery/greenhouse operation -
truly! Wear nice slacks and a not too "fru fru" blouse. Casual enough
yet not sloppy. Shows you're serious, but I think any dressier and it
would scare them off. I've been downsized several times and had to start
over completely - at 40 the last time. But it's always worked out in the
end, and wouldn't it be Heaven to have a job you enjoyed?? That's what I
would do if I end up getting restructured by my present lunatic asylum.
And it could always happen!!


GOOD LUCK!!
