SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 28, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- The economy has devastated the lives of many people across the United States. Many Baby Boomers have found themselves searching for jobs; some are out of work for the first time in their careers and others are re-entering the workforce after a long hiatus.
These individuals are finding the job search more challenging than they remember it being before. Not only are great jobs in short supply, but members of this age group often find it intimidating to compete with younger, fresh-faced candidates both on paper and in person.
Michele Benza is an Image Consultant and most of her clients are women over the age of 40. She has recently started offering a new online service called 'Dress for Success: Clear the Way for the Interview.'
Benza states, "Today, image consulting is a necessity, not a luxury. When you're searching for a job, your image is your first non-verbal method of communicating with an employer and it speaks much louder than words." Benza adds, "If you've been wearing the same style clothing as you have been your entire life and your hair hasn't changed since 1988, you definitely have some work to do on your image as you prepare to find a job."
The Dress for Success program is suitable for anyone looking for a job or to advance in their career with a promotion because clients learn to dress the part for the position they're hoping to obtain. When an individual completes their one hour session with Benza, they are equipped with the tools they need to present themselves with excellent posture, elegant style and most importantly, confidence.
To anyone worried that a makeover might be too extreme, Benza suggests thinking of it as "becoming an updated version of yourself" instead.
