Marcia got the job!

“The service provided was amazing, clear and warm. Even just one to two hours with Smart Works can make such a difference.”

After her appointment, Marcia said, “I feel like I’ve got this”.

And she did. Marcia received two job offers and soon after was booked to come back to Smart Works for her 2nd dressing appointment.

We're so happy for her! Congratulations 💙

"Thank you for the sisterhood" ❤️

There's nothing better than receiving feedback like this, hearing how positive our clients felt after their Smart Works experience makes our day! Read more of our clients lovely words here:

"I just wanted to let you know I got a job!!! I’m thrilled and I know in no uncertain terms that it was in large part to you guys. I didn’t even know how much I needed your service.

Although I didn’t get the first job, because my experience at Smart Works was so empowering and because I felt that the interview had gone so well...it gave me lots of confidence for the next one - and I got that!!!!"

We're so happy, congratulations 👏

We loved helping one of our clients find an interview outfit that felt right for her, something polished and professional, but still comfortable enough to feel like herself. Tiana worked with our wonderful Stylist Joady to find this beautiful outfit.

Because when you’re preparing for an interview, there’s already enough to think about. Knowing you feel good in what you’re wearing is one less thing to worry about.

That’s where Smart Works Greater Manchester comes in💙

From styling and choosing an interview outfit, to one-to-one interview coaching and practical support, we’re here to help women feel prepared for the next step into employment.
