Happy New Year! Or is it? If you graduated from a fashion course last year, or even the year before and haven’t yet found a solid (paid!) role, you might be feeling less than happy about yet another month and new year of job hunting.

Everyone knows that the fashion industry is competitive and difficult to get into, however the recession has obviously made the situation even worse, and paid roles are difficult to come by. However, the good news is that there ARE still roles out there – it’s just a case of knowing where to look, and knowing how to increase your chances of getting those jobs once you’ve found them.

In the first of our new series of careers articles, we have identified 10 key tips to get the ball rolling for your job search. Today we are looking at how to be PROACTIVE in your search.

For the full article, please visit: www.thefashioncareersclinic.blogspot.com
