We have 3 different positions in our Salem location:
Welcome Specialists: Welcome Specialists help clients (one-on-one or in small groups) with interview
preparation, coaching, and job search resources while providing an overview of
Dress for Success services. Welcome Specialists also encourage clients to get
involved in our programs.
Personal Shopper: Personal Shoppers meet one-on-one with our clients during a one-hour
appointment and help them find professional clothing for their upcoming interview.
Encouragement, compassion and support are an important part of this initial visit,
as our clients come from a variety of disadvantaged backgrounds:
*on an episodic basis* Clothing Organizer: Clothing Organizers help us process the clothing donations we receive from the community. Duties include: sorting, assessing donations for quality and professional
appropriateness, and merchandising donations on the store floor. When
necessary, donations are spot cleaned, mended, steamed, tagged and prepared
for display in the store.

Mission Statement
The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
Description
Every woman has the right to realize her full potential and achieve financial independence in a more egalitarian world. We believe that with the proper education, tools and action this world is possible.
Poverty often affects women the most, and its effects on them and their families can be long-lasting. Therefore, addressing women’s needs is central to improving the quality of life for not only that woman but also her family, future generations and her community. In fact, recognizing the significant role of women in economic development is the smart thing to do, as well as being socially and morally right.
We believe that achieving gender equality is imperative to developing a sustainable and just world for all, which is possible by acknowledging the crucial role that women play in the world economy.
We believe that by building up a woman’s agency and knowledge, better synergies between gender equality and economic sustainability are realized, enabling her to generate a long-term impact in both her private and public life.
