"After lots of weeks of exhausting job search, the visit to Dress for Success Seattle was a much needed but never expected treat and a boost for my self-confidence. I applied for a full-time entry-level accounting position with benefits and was accepted. Every month I come back to the Professional Women's Group to network with other women and learn useful things for my career advancement."
