Since 2005, Fitted for Work has helped over 6,500 women experiencing disadvantage to get work and keep it. We are a not-for-profit organisation that is committed to helping women gain the self-esteem and confidence to achieve their goal of sustainable employment. We do this by providing free interview-appropriate clothing at our Personal Dressing Services in Melbourne, Parramatta and Morwell and through our Transition to Work and Mentoring Programs. A recent Melbourne survey showed that 75% of women we have dressed were employed within three months of their visit.
Please read Karyn's story below and discover how Fitted for Work made a difference to her life this year.
'I'm 50 and recently divorced. I haven't worked for many years and was worried no one would want to employ a woman my age. Then I went to Fitted for Work and was dressed in this great outfit that I would never have chosen for myself. When I went for the job, the interviewers said I was the best presented of all the candidates. I got the job and I start work on the Spirit of Tasmania this week. For me it is the job of my dreams!" - Karyn, Client.
