Kate's Story

Kate was referred to Smart Works by the NHS ahead of her interview for an Office Manager role. She had been unemployed for almost a year and had applied to over 100 jobs during this time. Before her interview, Kate felt that she had “lost herself and lacked confidence.” After her interview, Kate got the job and loves her new role. She said coming to Smart Works “reminded me of all the great qualities I have and why I am a great candidate.” Kate said her appointment “restored my confidence and reminded me that I can do it. At Smart Works, you’ll experience people who are passionate in helping you, not only to look your best but be the best you. It’s an experience you won’t forget.” Whilst wearing the collection, Kate said “my outfit made me feel like a boss - powerful and strong! It just made me feel amazing, reminded me how far I've come and the future I have in front of me.”

Andrea's Story

Andrea’s story Andrea was referred to Smart Works by the local council leaving care team ahead of multiple interviews. She had been unemployed for nearly six months and had applied to 10 jobs. After her interview, Andrea said: “for somebody who comes from a care leavers’ background, you don’t hear people compliment you every day and actually try to help you. I felt like a celebrity.” Andrea was successful at her interview and is working as an Admin Apprentice. She said that “the best thing about Smart Works is the people. It’s given me a lot of confidence. I feel that every time I put on my coat, or blazer or shoes – that’s the feeling I carry around with me every time I wear them.”
