Introduction
Although there is no universally agreed definition of casual business attire, a common perception is that men casual dress typically includes: khaki pants, a pair of casual shoes and a button-down shirt (including polo) worn with no tie.
In numerous instances you can (and sometimes asked to) dress like that, but it is very important to always mind the particular environment you are working in. In fact, the above mentioned outfit would be a no-no for an international business environment, i.e. any job that requires dealing with mostly people from different countries. Such positions may be within trans-national corporations, non-governmental and multilateral organizations, foreign affairs agencies, consulting firms etc.
Hence, deeming it to be an important topic that is quite overlooked by many and thus not quite covered in the press and on the internet, I shall strive to rectify that and draw on my knowledge and experience for the help of those men, with who we have at least two things in common: professionalism and the domain of specialization.
Allow me to introduce you to my hard headed colleague and adopted nephew Bernie Borges. That's him above and to the right. Tell him to get a better photo, something closer to his age. Making him an honorary family member means I get to break bread and pick his brain. Right now Bernie is a pretty sharp cookie when it comes to a subject millions want to know about. Bernie is a rising star in the glamorous global world of Web 2.0 and social media marketing (explains the picture). He speaks a lot in public. No, he's not holding a sign that says The End is Near. Much to the contrary. Bernie has a book about Marketing 2.0 coming out soon, which I'll review in a separate Knol if the cheapskate gives me a copy. You might call Bernie a cheerleader for the present and the future.
Bernie is all about Twitter these days. He's a BIG fan and he's learned a lot. But he's keeping those cards close to his chest. I nearly had to waterboard him to get the best Twitter tips for this Knol. He finally capitulated after three days without food. I gave him his own byline as a reward. It starts below.
Bernie's outfit, Find and Convert, has just produced a new YouTube video about Twitter for newbies. Here you go. Nice way to start. Happy tweets to all.
