Guide to Fashion Career Planning provides an in-depth overview of preparing for a career in the fashion industry - across many job possibilities, skill sets, and career interests - and guides the readers through professional preparation from goal setting all the way to finding the first job. While many resources exist for topics such as career paths or internships, this book presents a seamless and comprehensive approach to everything needed for professional and career development covering resume writing, interviewing, job search strategies, internships and portfolios for fashion design, merchandising and retail careers. A unique chapter discusses the various social media platforms and evaluates how they can be used to enhance (or devalue) the personal brand. The book introduces portfolios in web-based and physical formats - and their uses as a career search and interview tool. Both practical and empowering, Guide to Fashion Career Planning gives readers the tools they need to embark on a career in fashion.

Industry Reviews
It can be a good source for the students in level 5 or year 2 to start thinking of the real world. It does get a bit descriptive but is still a good accumulation of information the retail students can use to know about the practical world. -- Hasan Gilani, Brighton University, UK The additions / revisions from the earlier version are noteworthy and useful in today's environment. The strength of the proposal is in Chapters 3 and 10. Branding yourself for a career is an essential element that is missing in the marketplace. Providing a framework for what it means to "brand" oneself at the age of say 19 is new ground. Chapter 10 is also strong in bridging the transition from college to career. -- Dana Connell, Columbia College Chicago, US I appreciate the chapter selections especially Branding Yourself and Professional Portfolio. Both of these relate directly to the needs to students preparing themselves for careers in the fashion industry. Other books on career readiness can be general and may not include such specific information related to fashion careers. -- Naomi Ellis, Phoenix College, US This text would be perfect for our Portfolio I course, to be incorporated simultaneously with each weeks' agenda of student's development of their Portfolio or Capstone project...The approach is organized and well thought out in the outline. -- Kelly De Melo, Art Institute of Dallas, US
