Christine's Story
Between September 2010 and December 2011 Christine had difficulty attaining sufficient employment, despite persistently applying for jobs and attending job interviews. However, as she began to grow despondent and frustrated, she was luckily referred to Suited to Success:
"During my first visit to uited to Success I was looked after by one of the volunteers, Susan, who chose a work-appropriate outfit complete with handbag, shoes, necklace and pantihose from the Suited to Success corporate 'wardrobe'. This was a real treat in getting something so special for free. I also benefited from the mock interview Susan conducted with me because it provided me with a boost to my self confidence.
"Perhaps the most rewarding part of my Suited to Success experience has been as a participant in The Breakfast Club sessions which are professional and personal in approach covering topics such as cover letters, resumes, mock interviews, confidence building, make up and hair grooming. During this time I have had the pleasure of [...] connecting with other Suited to Success clients from different backgrounds but with the same long term goal. Of course TBC sessions are made so welcoming, supportive, informative and fun by the wonderful volunteers who bring with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise of the work world.
"For me, the most beneficial aspects of attending TBC sessions have been emotional and psychological in nature. Coming to TBC reminded me I was not alone in my predicament and put my current situation into perspective. Having completed my BC sessions, I am in a much more positive frame of mind.
"I will sing the praises of Suited to Success for a long time coming!"
