Dress for Success

My choice for the persuasive speech we must prepare for AP Literature is Dress for Success. Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that is designed entirely to help people further their own life goals. The work this organization does is invaluable because it allows women to wear more presentable clothes while being interviewed, and many employers look upon the dress of their employees when deciding who to hire and who to not hire. As stated before, Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that could use more help in the way of donations, either of proper suits for interviews or money to buy said suits. The work they do help women to lead productive lives in the work environment and become independent and supportive of themselves and their families.

I like your ideas expressed for Dress for Success, but I am curious of why only women are supported in the organization? Is this implying that men don't need to dress right for job interview, or that women are judged more on appearance then men? Interesting stuff nooo?

Addressing Steve's questions I think that this charity should supply clothes for both men and women because women are not the only people who need clothes for an interview. I think it is really interesting that they will only give clothes women. I don't think that women are judged more on appearance than men. I think that in an interview appearance is judged equally for men and women.
