In Australia, 350,000 women are currently registered for looking for work. Fitted for Work’s vision is financial independence for women. From the website: “Every day our trained staff and volunteers help women gain the self-esteem and confidence to secure their goal of sustainable employment. Because, apparently, when women first visit Fitted for Work for their personal outfitting and interview service, they are nervous and unsure what to expect. They’re made to feel instantly welcomed and accepted by a number of skilled volunteers. In just one hour they’ll transform a woman from head to toe with a new suit, shirt, accessories, handbag and shoes to match. They’ll provide advice on grooming and health and how to prepare for the job interview so they put their best foot forward to get the job.”
