I volunteer weekly in service to homeless people at a local church. One of the staff members there is always beautifully dressed. When I complimented her on that, she said, "I got all my clothes at Dress for Success Atlanta."  I've been a long-time financial supporter and was delighted to see how my contributions were used and appreciated.

interview tips
The Day Before the Interview
 
· Make your travel plans for getting to the interview; know exactly where you are going and to whom you will be speaking.
· Buy your ticket or fare for transportation, fill your car with gas, or re-confirm other transportation plans.
· Make sure that you have several updated and clean copies of your resume.
· Check that you have at least 2 pairs of new or as-good-as-new hosiery (sheer, off black or nude; no opaque or white!)
· Try on the suit you received from Dress for Success Atlanta and make sure it is wrinkle free and has no missing buttons.
· Try to learn two or three facts about the company and/or its products to sound well-informed.
 
The Night Before the Interview
 
· Check the weather! Will you need an umbrella? Should you wear a coat?
· Decide what you will be taking in your handbag and set it aside. Be sure to
include a pen and paper as well as an extra pair of hosiery.
· Plan how you will wear your hair and make-up.
· Make-up should be appropriate for daytime, not Saturday night. No glimmer or shimmer and keep eye makeup to a minimum or wear none at all.
