Suited for Success
Applying for jobs and attending interviews can be stress-filled situations. Imagine preparing for an important job interview opportunity and not having a clean or well-fitting suit to wear on your big day.
Suited for Success, a partnership between Funk Your Junk, United Way Ottawa and World Skills Inc., has been established to address and alleviate some of the ‘interview’ stress for immigrants and new Canadians.
Suited for Success will provide – at no cost - business suits, for women and men to help them “shine” in their job interviews.
Funk Your Junk has established a relationship with Hillary Cleaners to ensure suits are dry cleaned and hemmed.
Need a suit?
If you need a suit and would like to apply to the Suited for Success program, call Funk Your Junk at 613-591-3530.
Donate a suit?
If you have a business suit (either men or women’s), that you would like to donate, you can drop it off at Funk Your Junk, located at 101-125 Somerset Street West. If you have any questions or concerns, call 613-531-3530 or email Junky@funkyourjunk.com.
