okiegirl | Should I go out and buy a bunch of new clothes to go job hunting in? |
I know the saying "You have to spend money to make money." But here's the problem. I am looking for a job because my husband and I are having money problems at the moment. The jobs I had in the past were they kind where I just wore a uniform. Since then I have been a housewife, with no need for dressy type clothing. I have few a seprate pieces that are ok, but none that I feel are really good enough. I live in an area where several large compaines have closed and layed off all their employee's, jobs are scace. And getting a job here takes an act of God. ( we are military, moving is not an option.) If I spend money for clothes and dont end up finding a job, I will just put us further in debt. Should I do it anyway?
Additional Details
Also with my current skill levels I am probably going back to the casual dress or uniform types jobs again. I guess I should have mentioned that before. |

Is there a Goodwill near you? You should try a thrift shop, be picky in looking and you could probably find a great outfit without busting the bank account. If you did not have to worry about money then I would say go for it, but then so would you and you wouldn't be asking this question at all!! God Bless and I wish you the best on the interview! |

Regardless of what type of jobs you are applying for it is important to make a good first impression during interviews. Dressing up will actually make you stand out and give you an edge over the competition. No, you should not spend money since you currently do not have much to spear. Yes, you should go to bargain racks, good will stores, and thrift stores to find quality clothes at a decent price. Or things that will last you until you have enough money to buy something better. I've found great deals at Ross. |

Get one good suit, accumulate clothing as you get a salary. Don't go broke buying things for a job you haven't secured yet. Good luck on your hunt. |

i wouldn't go out & buy a bunch of new clothes just a decent skirt & jacket & then you can mix & match it with a few colourful or white blouses because you will be visiting different businesses so they aren't going to know what you wore for your last interview goodluck & hope you find work soon |

No - put together your best things and get the job first. You never know what kind of outfit you might end up in - might be dressy, might be blue jeans, might be a uniform again.
If you *really* don't feel you have anything to wear, head out to the thrift stores. If your local ones are 'eh', try the ones located near your local high rent district. Don't laugh, but I've gotten $200+ suits, worthy of the Financial District, for anywhere from $10 to $25. I'd swear they'd never even been worn!! And nobody in the office has ever pointed at me and said, "Wow, did you, like, get that at Goodwill?"
Not. Once. :)
Good luck in the job search!!! |

You need interview clothes but you don't need to break the bank for them.
You can try thrift, consignment or second hand clothing shops. Just make sure that the clothes look ok.
There are also charities and/or non-profit organizations that will help women find new clothes for interviews. These are the type of organizations that will help housewives update their marketable skills and assist you with your job search.
I suggest going to the local public library or state employment office for some ideas in contacting these organizations. |

Go for it. If you get a job, you'll wear them, and, if you don't, you can either keep one or two outfits, and sell the others (eBay, consignment shops, etc.) You could try looking for cheaper options, too, so that you could have a good looking suit, for not too much $$$. |

get one good outfit that looks professional if you don't already have one. when you go on your interview, observe how others dress. you don't want to buy a bunch of clothes that don't fit the company's culture. if you buy all dresses and the women all wear jeans or slacks, you will probably want to buy another new wardrobe to match. |

If you have business or casual clothes just make sure they are clean. Your resume should look better than your clothes and people don't hire clothes. |

Totally. I was in the same situation a few years ago and I went out and bought three suits and three blouses - color coordinated -and I mixed and matched them. I had on eoutfit for everyday of the week. Off course after a month I was only wearing the same pieces so I had to go shopping again for a few separates. You have to look an dprofessional, so it os totally worth it. Just don't go to crazy with the ''no money'' you have right now. Just fibd a couple outfits and mix and match. |

Maybe you could borrow some nice clothes from a friend or relative? Explain your situation to them. |

As long as you are neat, clean and fairly conservative, there is no need to spend money on new clothes. |

That all depends.
If you are applying for a receptionist position at a nudist colony, you might not need your old clothing. |

you can get some great starter suit and such from walmart or even kohls now a days. You dont need to spend $100 on a suit when you can spend $80 on a well styled outfit that is fine for work. Another option you may have is to buy one killer suit and when the job comes through spend some extra to get you thru the first week or so til you get paid and every check add to your work wardrobe so your not taking alot away from what your working with now. Also oldnavy has some inexpensive cute work outfits. Best of luck with your job search |
