Getting a job is never easy and with rising unemployment is becoming more difficult. Just getting an interview is a challenge. First impressions count. \u00a0\u00a0Smart Works<\/a> comes to the aid of unemployed women. To tell us more, Helen Oldham, chair of Smart Works Leeds, gave us an insight into how Smart Works Empowers Women to Succeed.<\/p>\n

Smart Works, \u00a0a UK charity provides high quality interview clothes and interview training to unemployed women in need.\u00a0It provides women with a work outfit from stock of high-quality clothes and accessories. With styling advice and interview training, the support helps women feel more confident and increases their chances of securing a job. Half the women have previously been unsuccessful in over 20 applications. A third have been turned down from over 50 jobs. All are suffering from a lack of confidence in their own abilities.<\/p>\n

Smart Works work with many referral agencies, including Jobcentre Plus, work programme providers and charities working to support women back into employment. \u00a0Helen highlighted the 80% success rate Smart Works has achieved in helping women into employment.<\/p>\n

Clothes and \u00a0cash donations as well as grants fund their work.<\/p>\n

Soroptimist International of Yorkshire President Linda and guests from Clubs from throughout Yorkshire also joined our Zoom meeting.<\/p>\n
