A Dunedin charity which supports job seekers is seeing increasing numbers of older people through its doors, as the cost-of-living crisis bites.

Success Suits You supplies job-interview and work-appropriate clothing to those who don't have the financial means to get what they need or knowledge to know what's appropriate to be successful in the job market.

The initiative is similar to the international Dress for Success model, but all inclusive of male, female, gender diverse and non-binary individuals.

The service also provides CV and job search support and career advice. Deb Sutton is the founder of Success Suits You and speaks to Kathryn.
