Professional Apparel, Accessories and Image Consulting          


First impressions are often long lasting and the appearance of a job seeker is the first thing that potential employers see. Dressing in an appropriately professional manner can mean the difference between getting a second interview or a job because assumptions are often made about the ability to perform at a certain capacity, based on the way a job seeker is dressed. WHW prepare clients to be successful on their job search by helping them understand the importance of creating and maintaining a professional image.

Clients who are referred to WHW from over 260 agency partners for professional apparel services receive one-on-one personal shopping services that include wardrobing and image education from staff and specially trained volunteers.  The one to two hour appointment also focuses on body language and professional etiquette standards.  Clients receive a full array of interview and work appropriate clothing and essential accessories such as shoes, belts, ties, handbags and jewelry as well as personal hygiene kits, including manicure, pedicure and haircut coupons. 

Learning the value of presenting a professional image, which includes how to put together an appropriate head to toe interview look that exudes confidence and enhances personal style gives our job seekers a competitive advantage in the job market.
