Career Closet Helps L&S Students Make a Great First Impression
The Career Closet is all about giving students access to professional and business casual attire. It’s important to make a good first impression for an interview, attending a career fair, or that first day on the job or internship. SuccessWorks at the College of Letters & Science makes it a priority to offer a free service of gently used attire that L&S students can keep and wear for any future career related events.
Free professional attire available from the Career Closet includes:
No appointment necessary. SuccessWorks staff can even offer tips on how to dress for success.
Spring ’18 Career Closet Event
In spring 2018, a Career Closet event served over 200 students with approximately 500 items leaving with students over a three hour period. SuccessWorks will offer similar events in 2018-2019 to continue giving L&S students the professional attire they need to dress for success. One student told us, “This couldn’t have come at a better time because I didn’t have any clothes for my internship this summer!”
Make a Donation
The Career Closet is made possible through the donations of generous UW faculty & staff, alumni, employers, community members, and local consignment shops Simply Savvy and Re-threads.
It’s easy to donate to the Career Closet. We accept donations of contemporary (no more than 5 years old), new or gently used, and dry cleaned (or in clean condition) items. Sorry, no shoes or socks. Gift cards are accepted in smaller increments ($25-$50) for students to purchase shoes or socks.
Please bring these items to SuccessWorks on the 3rd floor of the University Book Store at 711 State Street between 8:30am to 4:30pm M-F.
