Fashion Career Tipsheet October 2010
by The Fashion Cult
For this edition of the tipsheet we decided to ditch the terms “gig” and “job” in favor of what we should all be in pursuit of: a Career. After you’ve done your internships, low-paying hourly gigs, and hard knock assistantships, it’s time to turn your attention to snagging a spot with some major players. It’s not for everyone (…ahem), but landing a job with a high-profile company can be a very satisfying coup for the serious fashion industry worker. Good Luck! Photo via apparelsearch.com
