Jos. A. Bank will hold ‘Dress for Success’ seminar April 7 featuring campus models

If you are a man and you want the job, then you need to dress the part. That is the message of a “Dress for Success” seminar being conducted by renowned national male clothier Jos. A. Bank., at Winston-Salem State University on Wednesday, April 7, at 5:30 p.m. in room 207 of Cleon F. Thompson Student Services Center. The men’s apparel “Dress for Success” seminar, also open to women, is being held in conjunction with the university’s Mass Communications Club, Black Men for Change and the MBA Club. The seminar is designed to give prospective future male corporate executives ideas about their look in the corporate environment. To drive the message home, 12 male students from these student organizations will serve as models during the Bank’s runway presentation of businessman’s attire. During the course of the presentation, the models will wear Bank’s business attire and attendees will be able see and here, both in actually and on big screen, what the successful corporate applicant should look like and why corporate America is interested in that look. “Jos. A. Bank is excited about the prospect of providing this integrated look into the corporate male environment to students at Winston-Salem State University,” said Nick Rozzi, Vice President for Corporate Sales at Jos. A. Bank. “This presentation provides students an opportunity to view a unique aspect of marketing and packaging themselves for the business community.” Rozzi makes the point that a young man may possess the skills necessary to land that Fortune 500 corporate position but probably will not get it if he does not look the part. Jos. A. Bank operates more than 200 stores nationwide and plans to expand their operations to include more than 500 stores by 2007. This event is free and open to the public.
