Job help offered

When it comes to work, it pays off to dress for success.

That was the message from makeup artist Sue Prosser, right, who spoke Wednesday in the first presentation in Life Skills Center of Akron's job-readiness series.

"Our image starts with how we perceive ourselves," Prosser said. "It's unfortunate, but people do judge us on how we appear. If you look better, you will feel better."

Prosser gave two presentations to about a dozen students at the school.

She said it's good to have a proper attitude during interviews.

"They can be scary," Prosser said. "There is nothing wrong with being nervous. You just don't want to be intimidated."

Vocational Specialist Morgan Domokos, who helped organize the event, said she was happy to provide the presentations for students.

"When I was younger, no one sat me down like this (to talk about job-readiness skills)," she said.
