Get a Job! Fashion Gig Tipsheet August 2010

“Living in Alabama and telling someone you want to pursue a career in fashion is like telling your parents that you’re planning your financial future around winning the Florida lottery. They just look at each other and sigh”.

The above cute quip from DailyFashionJobs.com contributor Mary Caitlin Ward. Read the rest of her charming article about breaking into the fashion biz despite small town roots here. *Caveat: Ward hasn’t actually “broken” into the industry just yet (she’s a student), but she’s a great writer and has sound advice beyond her years.

AS ALWAYS, CHECK BACK THROUGH THE MONTH FOR UPDATES.
