Need to dress for success but living on a college budget?

Dressing for success may seem disheartening for many students with a small budget. With shops such as Banana Republic boasting business jackets on sale for $200, investing money in a well-fitted appropriate business suit may seem intimidating. Shopping on a budget, however, does not have to be a burden, especially when an important internship or career may be on the line. Likewise, spending money does not necessarily mean emptying one’s bank account or forfeiting grocery money for a few months.

Conveniently located just two miles from the Owings Mills campus sit the Goodwill (11411 Reisterstown Road, Owings Mills, Md.), where most articles of clothing do not exceed $10. While the process of finding something to fit your needs may require 30 minutes or an hour of sifting through used clothing, one can most definitely leave the store with at least one item. Gentlemen should keep in mind that the majority of clothing sold at this location is geared towards the ladies.

Besides looking the part one must have the skills and paperwork to match the visual presentation. Career Services (located down the hill on the first floor of Wooded Way) is open daily for appointments to review interviewing skills, presentation skills, and resume skills.
