First things first: get rid of the myth that you can’t get a job in fashion without experienceĪ big myth that I’ve noticed among fashion enthusiasts is the idea that you can’t get a job if you have no experience or didn’t study a specific degree or attended a fashion school. 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 write your first resume to apply for your first job in fashion, in this article I’m sharing some tips for you! How to build your resume when you have no experience to break into fashion 1. 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 a degree in management engineering, with no connections, not born and raised in a fashion capital and without previous experience in fashion. I was about to graduate in management engineering, I opened a Word document and stared in front of it for a while looking at an empty page.Īnd 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?įast 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.

I remember when I had to write my first resume.
