When it comes to landing a job, a first impression can go a long way. The right suit can boost your self-confidence and earn you a high score for presentation. The good people from Suited For Success have been helping job-seekers perfect their interview look with donated suits, but experience quickly showed that wardrobe only takes you so far. To enhance the value of each donated suit, they created tailored workshops to help with job interview readiness, professional image creation, skill-building and business etiquette. Miami-Dade County Deputy Mayor Russell Benford serves on the Men’s Advisory Board, helping the organization excel in its mission while encouraging others to get involved. “The experience not only helps the organization and the people served, it also helps all those involved grow in a way that is personally rewarding,” he says; SuitedForSuccess.org.
