Dressing for a Job Fair

What Recruiters Say

Based on an informal survey of more than 40 job fair recruiters. These recruiters described their gut reactions to both people who dressed extremely casually and those who obviously had taken the time to spot clean, pressed, conservative formalwear. Frankly, the results were startling.

Almost universally, recruiters at these events said that, simply on the basis of seeing the job seeker ­­ and before the seeker ever reached their booth, talked to them or handed over their resume ­­ that the prospect dressed in extremely casual clothing struck them as being unprepared, irresponsible, less capable, less educated, less qualified and possessing poor work habits. On the other hand, they described more formally dressed individuals as capable, well­ educated, intelligent, trustworthy and responsible ­­ the people they wanted to hire.

Mind Your First Impressions As much as you may hate to admit it, most people do judge other people within seconds of meeting them. Ever experienced love at first sight ­­ or the opposite? Making a conscious or subconscious decision in the first few seconds you see someone doesn't mean you're a snob; it means you're human. And so are the folks who recruit at job fairs. A formal study of hiring managers in more than 400 companies by the San Jose Mercury News concluded the average employer makes a hiring decision within 15 seconds of meeting you. The study simply illustrates a point that psychologists and scientists have known for a long time: A part of the human brain is specifically designed to size up a stranger in the first few seconds. It is a built-in feature of the human nervous system to determine, within seconds, whether a stranger approaching us is friend or foe. And that's the very mechanism that drives employers, recruiters and human resource representatives to (perhaps not consciously) evaluate a person on the basis of appearance. So when you get ready to attend a job fair, pull out a professional outfit, pick some businesslike shoes, get your hair trimmed and go for it!

How Do You Qualify for a Colorado Marijuana Badge? Before even considering jumping into the marijuana industry in Colorado, the Marijuana

Enforcement Division (MED) has several strict requirements to even apply for your

occupational license. Before getting to that list, one huge requirement is, and this should be

common sense, you MUST be a Colorado resident. Obviously, the easiest way to prove

residency is via a Colorado Driver's License, or a Colorado State ID. To get your Colorado ID,

you have to prove that you live here. That means, before you even apply for your MED badge,

you’ll need to bring in a utility bill from an address in Colorado, a credit card statement, a pay

stub, or anything else that shows you live here.

Okay, once you’ve gotten that residency thing out of the way, you also need to make sure you:

Are at least 21 years old. Have never been convicted of a felony related to the possession, distribution, or use of

any controlled substance. Have not served a sentence, including probation or parole, of any felony in the last five

years. Are not a licensed physician making patient recommendations. Have never had your authority to act as a primary caregiver revoked by the state. Are not the spouse or child, living in the house with any employee of the MED. Are not a police officer, sheriff, deputy sheriff, or prosecuting officer. Are not an officer or employee of the marijuana state licensing authority or a local

licensing authority. Unfortunately, if you do not satisfy any of these requirements, you will not be allowed to get

your marijuana occupational license.

7

How To Get Your Colorado Marijuana Occupational License If you’re still saying “Cool, I can still work in the industry,” great! The next step is deciding what

occupational license you want to apply for. Typically, the license you want to get is the Support

Employee license. This license is designed for anyone who works in the industry who does not

make any management or operational decisions. If you’ve been hired on at a place specifically as

a manager, or anyone else involved in the operations that directly impact the business, however,

you’ll need to apply for the Key Employee License.

Make sure that you read the application carefully. You need to disclose any arrests related to a

controlled substance since turning 18, any arrests or convictions in the last ten years. You’ll also

need to disclose any delinquencies of monies owed to the government, such as back taxes.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get your occupational license if you still owe the government

any money. Once that’s all good and dandy, bring the application with you to the MED office,

along with any documents required, such as any court dispositions, proof of residency

documents, descriptions of tattoos on your body (seriously!) . Make sure that you also bring the

application fee with you, which is $150 for the Support License, and $300 for the Key License.

Currently, the MED accepts either cash or check (made out to the MED).

Currently, the MED operates out of four different offices, but their Denver office is the only one

that currently accepts walk­ins. Everywhere else, you’ll need to set up an appointment by

calling the office directly. The MED has offices in Denver, Longmont, Colorado Springs, and

Grand Junction.

Verde Natural

Every cannabis plant at Verde Natural is soil grown, organically fed, hand trimmed and slow cured!

We are 100% hands on with every step of the process. Yes, growing in soil is more time

consuming and yields less flower compared to other styles of growing (i.e. hydroponics), but we

are OK with this. Our goal is not to grow the most flower; it's to grow the highest quality flower.

Cannabis has evolved to be in active communication and exchange with a diverse community of

beneficial microbes to uptake nutrients in an optimal and dynamic way. Hydroponic and synthetic

cultivation systems override the inherent intelligence of the plant. In hydro, the human chooses

when and what the plants eat. In soil, the human provides everything the plant needs, but allows

the plant to choose when and what to eat. We believe that respecting and encouraging the plant's

natural intelligence allows cannabis to reach its highest potential regarding terpene and

cannabinoid production. Every strain gets the chance to express its unique terpene profile [smell] -

unspoiled by chemical additives.

Native Roots

From seed in the soil to bud behind glass,

Native Roots delivers the highest quality

naturally-grown, retail and medical cannabis

earning the brand its reputation as Colorado’s
