When you're fresh out of college, it’s so easy to get discouraged when you can't find a job right off the bat. Even if you're not a new graduate, finding a job that’s a perfect fit for you (and helps you pay the bills) can definitely be a bit of a challenge. I know I've been there. On one hand, you may know exactly what you want to do, but you have no idea how to get to where you want to be. On the other hand, you may be open to several careers, but there are so many options that you just don't know where to get started.
If the latter is the case for you, why not consider ANN INC.? They are the corporate head for brands such as Ann Taylor, LOFT, and Lou & Grey Retailers.

What advice would I give to those looking to work in the fashion industry?
KNOW YOUR STUFF

I think all fashionistas have their own unique look. Embrace that on your journey into the fashion industry.

What advice would you give to people looking to work in the fashion industry?
I just want a job. I'm not a very fashionable person. Would they still want me?
ReplyDeleteHow did I not know those labels were umbrella'd under that brand? Wow! I'd love to handle the e-commerce part.
ReplyDeleteI'd say network, network, network.
ReplyDeleteConfidence is your best fashion statement. Networking is also key. Always keep learning.
ReplyDeleteI think own your own style. I think sometimes people simply flow with thte trends without having a true style of their own. If you have a style - own it, sell it and work it!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone turns you down for a job ever, they'll be so sad.
ReplyDeleteRight?! I didn't either. It was interesting learning more about the company while writing the post.
