PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. Dress for Success Oregon’s Personal Care Resource Fair is a chance to do just that.

The nonprofit helps unemployed and underemployed women find new opportunities, as well as teach them to show up confident and ready to build their careers.

Executive Director Lindsey Norlander, Amber Fowler, Executive Director of the Dental Foundation of Oregon, and photographer Jennifer Lloyd joined AM Extra to talk about their partnership on the event this weekend.

They should do something for men as well.I had to teach my boys who are now men because they didn't offer stuff like this for young men or men .Dress for success is important for both Plus it encourages confidence when job searching..

This is one of the most prejudiced things I’ve seen in my life. As a male, I don’t understand why you don’t teach young men to dress for success. To be empowered. To be a man! But I understand that all the dike women want something for nothing.
