1st Impressions is a not-for-profit organisation focused on helping women in vulnerable groups get back into employment. Working with partner organisations to gain referrals, we firstly profile the individual to understand their needs, so a mentor can then assigned.
Our mentors will set up an initial meeting with their client and agree objectives, they will then help them prepare for their forthcoming interview. This preparation will include interview coaching and as well as assisting them in choosing clothing and accessories from an extensive donated wardrobe, where they can choose from a range of outfits. Once our clients feel confident in their chosen outfit our team continue to provide interview support – hopefully with the end result being our client getting their dream job.
Our ever-widening group of volunteers are dedicated, believing that a 1st Impressions focused approach will help women from disadvantaged backgrounds enter the jobs market.
