WHY IS THE BRONX "STATE OF THE BOROUGH" SPEECH NOT AVAILABLE IN REAL TIME?

The Borough President's speech in NOT being carried live on News12 The Bronx, Bronxnet, or streamed on The Web. This according to Tom Lucania, Director of Community Boards Unit and Legislative Affairs.

Mr. Luciana says it will be available on both Bronxnet and News 12 in the coming days.

The question which begs to be answered is why not? City Island Images will file a report on this important speech later this afternoon.

GETTING A JOB

Most per-interview suggestions are basically common sense, but some folks do not plan ahead. Look the part. If you want to be taken seriously, dress the part of the role you want, perhaps one level up.

Invest in a good suit or skirt and a button-down shirt set. While you may balk at spending extra money on clothes, you need and should have interview attire. Do not forget those details: they matter. Make sure your shoes are clean, polished, and professional-looking. Keep the fragrance, makeup, and jewelry.
