Acing the Interview

Congratulations! You landed the interview. Now what?

A great interview depends as much on your attitude and personality as it does on your skills and qualifications. The person interviewing you has your resume. She knows you have the basic qualifications for the job. Your mission during the interview is to demonstrate that you also have the qualities and characteristics that will make you successful in the position.

Are you capable, confident, dependable, enthusiastic, flexible, persistent and resourceful? These are qualities that employers look for. The interviewer is assessing what you say, how you sit, what you wear and how you behave, including non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, eye contact and posture.

It’s time to prepare for your next interview! The the Women’s Opportunity Center has you covered with these helpful and informative videos, tips and guidelines.

After the Interview

Employers use interviews to screen and hire employees, but did you know that what you do after the interview also influences your chance of getting the job? Aside from wallowing in anxiety and checking your email non-stop, there are things you can do that increase your chances for hire.

Just like in dating, there are some follow-up steps you can take to help secure a second interview, or even a job offer. These links can guide you towards what you should do to make a successful post-interview impression and lock down the job.

Threads of Change

Welcome to our vibrant world of eco-fashion! Join us on a stylish journey where fun meets sustainability. Let's dress boldly, live courageously, and change the world, one eco-friendly outfit at a time!

Welcome to Mary Durham Boutique, where we believe in fashion with a purpose! Let's dive into the wonderful world of eco-friendly fashion and explore why it's not just about looking good; it's about feeling good too.

At MDB, we understand the importance of confidence for women. That's why we offer a wide selection of gently loved fashion pieces that not only boost your confidence but also won't break the bank. By choosing pre-loved items, you're not only saving money but also contributing to a more sustainable fashion industry.

But why exactly should you opt for eco-friendly fashion? Well, let's break it down.

First off, buying secondhand clothing promotes sustainable fashion practices. It's a crucial step in the slow fashion movement, which encourages us to be more mindful of our clothing choices. By giving pre-loved garments a new life, we're reducing the demand for new production and minimizing our environmental footprint.

And let's talk about uniqueness! When you shop secondhand, you're bound to find one-of-a-kind pieces that you won't see anyone else wearing. Vintage finds? Check. Rare gems? Double check. Embrace your individuality and stand out from the crowd with our curated selection of pre-loved treasures.

But it's not just about style; it's about making a positive impact on the planet. By choosing secondhand over fast fashion, you're helping to combat the throwaway culture that's so prevalent in today's society. You're saying no to excessive waste and yes to a more sustainable future.

And the benefits don't stop there. Buying secondhand clothing also supports ethical fashion practices. It's a way to stand in solidarity with garment workers worldwide and advocate for fair wages and safe working conditions. Every purchase you make sends a powerful message to the fashion industry: we demand transparency, accountability, and respect for human rights.

But don't just take our word for it. The secondhand fashion market is booming, with more and more consumers embracing the thrill of the hunt and the joy of sustainable shopping. From affordability to sustainability to exclusivity, there's something for everyone in the world of eco-friendly fashion.

So why wait? Join us at Mary Durham Boutique and embark on a fashion journey that's as bold and courageous as you are. Together, let's make a difference, one stylish outfit at a time.
