Hi All-
Today, Tuesday April 27th is the Second Annual Sustainable Style Show. This fashion show features clothing from ARC Thrift Stores. The fashion show is meant to provide student with ideas for business attire for an interview. The two hosts talked about what it means to look professional and the different styles of clothing for different type of careers. An example was if one is going into graphic design to have a fashion-forward style and look artistic while remaining professional at the interview. One very important tip that was mentioned was about odors. Such things as smelling like perfume, cologne, or cigarettes is a turn off for employers. It is important to wear things to an interview that take your attire up a notch. Things like for ladies Capri's or revealing tops or for men low-waist pants and a baggy shirt are no-no's. This relates to our center because of volunteering. When you volunteer with the Center for Urban Connections it is important to dress nicely and represent our school. If there is a volunteer shirt you would wear when you are volunteering, be sure to check ahead on that. Here at the Center for Urban Connections, we are proud sponsors in sustainable retail stores and thrift stores. Just because you buy something at ARC does not mean it will be of a lesser quality then at another retailer who would charge double or more that price. Going to thrift stores helps one's budget and spend money on other things of importance such as rent. Have a great day and week, I hope this helps you create an Eco-friendly lifestyle while helping you get your dream job!
