Highlights of Today’s Show...
October 24, 2009
What an incredible Saturday! When roars of laughter flood the studio, you definitely have something unique and entertaining and YSL is infectious about doing just that.

Jose begins by warmly greeting his listeners then introduces his co-host Haydee before going into the national and local news, cool trivia, followed by movies, stogie picks, and for the holidays a flan recipe to delight your palette, to the top wine selections for under $25. Next, he makes a special announcement about Border’s bookstore — informing our listeners of this one day event where they could find kid’s books at 50% off plus enjoy the Halloween spook-tacular and all taking place later this afternoon. Hope you took advantage of it!

Then it’s on to Fashion with Haydee where she fills Jose and our listeners in on several malfunctions made by hopeful candidates in search of jobs — from clothing, jewelry, to hair and nails. All of which greatly influence a perspective employer in how they view a candidate. Haydee reminds us to keep things fresh, simple, and fabulous because first impressions count especially on a job interview.

Following a brief intermission, Jose makes ready to introduces the one and only Keu Reyes — actor, writer, producer, director, filmmaker, stand-up comic, and a member of the party of no! To which Keu lightheartedly responds, “You don’t speak for me!” Keu even added to the Fashion saying, “No biker shorts, especially with a fanny pack and if overweight definitely avoid it altogether”.

Keu’s comic style is friendly and optimistic which infuses a contagious energy in the studio. His stand-up charm blossoms as the hour progressed, even after some lively bantering with our caller. He accredits much of his passage and style of life to having strong family ties.

Keu Reyes is far more than just a slapstick comedian. He’s bright, intelligent and it’s obvious that life for him is about a journey rather than the race. It certainly gave everyone a chance to sit back while participating in some side-splitting fun.

Before closing, Jose asks Keu, “Keu quickly tell me about the show and how can we contact you”. Keu tells us to go to CTV.com where you can get information on the show, Latino 101, and when it will air. However, if you wish to reach Keu go to his blog on www.artisticwarfare.com or email him at keu@artisticwarfare.com.

Yo Soy Latino is definitely one lively broadcast, often humorous and endlessly fascinating, so spread the word! If you didn’t get a chance to hear it LIVE go to our archived shows and listen and don’t forget to stop by and sign the guestbook. Include your email address so you can receive our newsletters.


The Vogue Report...
Fashion Blunders on an Interview!
October 24, 2009
I speak on fashion all the time but when you are looking for work first impressions are critical, so I thought of doing a piece on the biggest faux pas one can make when looking for work. You should always make sure you’re well-groomed from your head to your toes. We tend to carry the ‘casual’ day wear into an interview and that can send the wrong message. So if you’re guilty of one of these malfunctions? It’s time for a change!

1. Going on an interview with sunglasses on top of your head or headphones around your neck, not a good thing. Tuck it away in your briefcase or just leave it in your car before entering the lobby.

2. Carrying a backpack or fanny pack instead of a briefcase or portfolio. If you do not own one borrow one it will keep your resume and references neat and safe. And for women, do leave the purses. Just take what you need for the interview.

3. Micro-mini skirts. Though I love the trend, your skirt should cover your thighs especially when you are seated. If you’re tugging at it to keep it from rising, rethink your choice.

4. The wrong tie. Ties should be made of silk, no less than 3 ¾ inches wide with a conservative pattern. The best colors are red or burgundy with a white long-sleeved shirt, no short-sleeved shirts unless you’re wearing a jacket.

5. Overly bright or large-patterned clothing. Unless you are applying for a job in the creative fields like advertising, marketing, or fashion buying it's best to stick with the basics (navy, black or gray, brown is also acceptable). The interviewer does not wish to be distracted by your clothes but what you bring to the table, your talents.

6. Heavy makeup. Keep your makeup simple you’re not going on a date but an interview.

7. Earrings on men. Avoid them. Wearing any jewelry unless it is a wedding ring, class ring or metal watch will raise a ‘red’ flag. Just as with women wearing more than one set of earrings.

8. Facial piercing or any tongue jewelry should be removed when going on an interview. Even tattoos should not be visible.

9. Don’t wear oversized clothing on an interview, it sends a negative message make sure you’re clothes are well fitted and tailored to your silhouette.

10. Fingernails. Nails should look clean and be trimmed to a length that doesn't leave the interviewer wondering how you keep from stabbing yourself or anyone else for that matter. Same applies to unnatural hair colors or styles, keep it within the natural hues.

11. Wearing strong aftershaves, perfumes or colognes. Fragrances for most can be outright offensive. Many people are allergic especially to certain scents. Consider a delicate fragrance or use soft-scented quality bath soap.

12. Sneakers. Avoid wearing them altogether and use the proper footwear.

Remember, you want the interviewer to be listening to what you're saying and not critiquing what you're wearing so don’t make these fashion blunders when on a job interview. Good luck in your job search!


Next week prepare yourself as Jose and Haydee and the YSL team return when they look into the blistering dispute between the CIW, Coalition of Immokalee Workers, and Publix as they wrangle over the one-penny-per-pound wage hike for workers to the unforgettable impressive sounds of Ms. Eva Sabiniano, a rising 13 year old Christian artist whose voice will have you saying “I wish I could sing like that!” So come back next week and share that cup of coffee with us.
