I love the AirTran Airways radio commercials.

Do Clothes Indicate Skill and Expertise?
I guess there are times when you need to be reminded that there are very superficial business people out there. Last week I got an email in response to my resume posted on Craig’s List. This is what it said: “Can you send references and salary history?” That’s it. No mention about what kind of…
