Immigrant women professional makeover

The Immigrant Women's Association of Calgary has opt the anti for immigrant women seeking jobs and have joined with "the closet"  to outfit immigrant women seeking that first job in Canada, with the right outfit to impress potential employees and to help women feel good about themselves and thereby improve their self-confidence.

The closet works with nonprofit organizations that helps low income women to provide gently used clothes suitable for office wear.

The Walk-in Closet is part of the free Making Changes program, which teaches low-income women, many new Canadians, how to find a job and put together a resume.
The "closet" is actually offices stocked with pants, shirts, shoes and jewelry. Women looking for work or starting a new job can pick four new or gently used outfits.

This is a great resource as finding good clothes even used clothes can something be too much for a woman without financial means to bear. The Closet also features an image consultant who are skilled in putting people in the clothes that bring out their best feature.
