| Students stories: Georgia Rhodes on interning at Marie Claire, Glamour, Elle, and Harpers Bazaar without living in a fashion capital | 28 févr. 2023 | 00:34:14 | |
Georgia Rhodes is a final-year student with already a lot of big fashion magazines on her resume including Marie Claire, Glamour, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, CR Fashion Book. I met Georgia in 2020 as she is one of the students of my online course Break into the fashion industry + The Fashion Writer Accelerator and in the past 3 years, she has achieved so much. I am really proud of her and happy to have been part of her professional journey and excited to share this interview with her to know where she is today. After an experience with a fashion marketing internship, she realized that writing was what she preferred doing. She felt the pressure of getting an internship for her placement year especially when she realized that applying to fashion is different from applying to any other job. It was a nerve-wracking experience as her uni didn’t really guide her on how to approach practically the job search process. She then stumbled upon the course Break into the fashion industry and after being encouraged by her grandparents to invest in her career, she enrolled and finally started seeing the first results. Her first experience with a magazine was at Marie Claire. She was one of the students to get the internship at Marie Claire in partnership with us exclusive for students of our academy. She then went up from there landing one internship after another at other major publications including Glamour, Elle, CR Fashion Book, Harpers Bazaar… Today, together with writing her dissertation, she is working as a freelance for the luxury online retailer Farfetch as Content Writer as well as writing for CR Fashion Book. In this episode we chatted everything about:

| 3 reasons why you need to learn Excel to get a job in Fashion | 28 juin 2022 | 00:18:04 | |
I get asked often what skills you need to work in fashion. There isn’t just one answer here because skills change with each position and company. However there is one that is common among 90% of the fashion jobs: Microsoft Excel. Wait, what? Why? When we think about the fashion industry we see fashion shows, clothes, shoes, magazines… So it's hard to envision fashion workers doing anything that doesn’t include designing clothes, styling looks, and attending appointments, and fashion events.. you are unlikely to imagine them seated at their desks just like any other employee from any other industry. But the reality is that those who work in fashion spend a lot of, the majority of their time actually, on a laptop answering emails and planning and making analyses on Excel sheets. So if you had no idea that MS Excel is such an important skill in fashion and why then tune in as you'll learn precious insights that will boost your job search and career in this industry

| 6 steps to build your CV/resume when you have no experience to break into fashion | 07 juin 2022 | 00:26:07 | |
I remember when I had to write my first resume. I was about to graduate in management engineering, I opened a Word document and I stared in front of it for a while looking at an empty page. I was worried that I couldn’t add anything relevant and so I was thinking: “why would companies want to hire me when they will for sure receive other applications from people with more experience or even better schools?” Fast forward 10 years later, as a fashion career coach, I’ve learned many things and I know that while it’s normal to have those fears, they were actually living more in my head. In fact, I broke into fashion with an internship at a top company: Alexander McQueen in the ecommerce department, despite I was still that girl with:
So yes, it’s absolutely possible to get into fashion even if you have no experience yet (if you think about it’s quite logical, right? Or how would everyone else, including Anna Wintour have done?) So if you are like me 10 years ago looking to:

| 5 most common resume mistakes in fashion (and how to stop making them) | 31 mai 2022 | 00:16:12 | |
Are your job applications falling through the craps? While there could be many reasons why your job applications are not working, your resume is for sure a significant decision-maker for recruiters. You might not be getting the job because of resume mistakes that will prevent your application to go to the next steps. A recruiter spends on average 3 seconds to decide whether your resume deserves a chance or if it’s better to move on to the next one.
This means that most of the resumes are not read.

| How to build a fashion portfolio for each career (designers, stylists, writers, PR...) | 06 avr. 2022 | 00:15:22 | |
Many identify the fashion portfolio as a collection of sketches and designs. But this definition would limit the portfolio to fashion designers only while I do believe it’s a strong document that any fashion creative can build. In fact, I prefer to define the fashion portfolio as a collection of your projects.
