I know the saying “You have to spend money to make money.” But here’s the problem. I am looking for a job because my husband and I are having money problems at the moment. The jobs I had in the past were they kind where I just wore a uniform. Since then I have been a housewife, with no need for dressy type clothing. I have few a seprate pieces that are ok, but none that I feel are really good enough. I live in an area where several large compaines have closed and layed off all their employee’s, jobs are scace. And getting a job here takes an act of God. ( we are military, moving is not an option.) If I spend money for clothes and dont end up finding a job, I will just put us further in debt. Should I do it anyway?
Also with my current skill levels I am probably going back to the casual dress or uniform types jobs again. I guess I should have mentioned that before.

No - put together your best things and get the job first. You never know what kind of outfit you might end up in - might be dressy, might be blue jeans, might be a uniform again.
If you *really* don’t feel you have anything to wear, head out to the thrift stores. If your local ones are ‘eh’, try the ones located near your local high rent district. Don’t laugh, but I’ve gotten $200+ suits, worthy of the Financial District, for anywhere from $10 to $25. I’d swear they’d never even been worn!! And nobody in the office has ever pointed at me and said, “Wow, did you, like, get that at Goodwill?”
Not. Once.
Good luck in the job search!!!
Maybe you could borrow some nice clothes from a friend or relative? Explain your situation to them.
As long as you are neat, clean and fairly conservative, there is no need to spend money on new clothes.
If you have business or casual clothes just make sure they are clean. Your resume should look better than your clothes and people don’t hire clothes.
An edge over the competition no you an edge over the competition no you currently do not have enough money since you an edge over the competition no you are applying for it is.
