If you study at a fashion college, you
surely know that it costs an arm and a leg. On the other hand, fashion is your
passion, and you are not complaining because you know that it is worth all the
invested money and effort. Student life
is financially challenged, so you are thinking of getting a part-time job that
is both fashion-related and brings you extra money at the same time. Here are
some possible options for you.
1. Sales Assistant
If you are interested in working
in retail, this is the
right job for you. This is a great way to familiarize with trends in fashion,
especially when it comes to beauty products that are popular and clothes that
are must-have for a particular season. You will be in charge of assisting the
customers and of arranging products in the store. If you show a good work
ethic, commitment and loyalty, you can even be promoted to a sales manager.
2. Fashion Columnist
Writing about trends in fashion is one of
the ways to get noticed and recognized. No matter if you will write for your
local paper, or for campus publication, it is definitely a perfect way to start
your work within the fashion industry. Make sure that you are standing out from
the crowd with your unique, catchy style of writing and impressive knowledge of
fashion. Hard work always pays off – remember that fashion columnists often
attend fashion shows and assist photographers on photo shoots.
3. Promotional Staff
Join a highly respected agency that
represents young people who are into fashion, and you are halfway there.
Nowadays in Australia, there are agencies which hire young men and women for a
wide range of services. You can work as a photographic or fashion model, model
for event launches, hair or makeup artist, social media support, etc. As you
can see, possibilities are infinite, and Brisbane
based promotional staff have their hands full of engagements. Young people are regularly given
a chance to present themselves and get an opportunity to earn some money and be
noticed and remembered by the public and a wide range of social media.
4. Stylist
You would like to be
a stylist, but it seems
like an impossible mission? Don't worry, it does not have to be such a
nightmare. First of all, it is very important to research who you want to work
with. Reach out to them directly, and if they recognize your enthusiasm,
dedication and creativity, you can start off as their intern. You can easily
get hired later on, if you show your skills and qualities of a good worker. You
can also work in department stores, taking part in visual merchandising and
window dressing. You can even take it to the next level and create looks for
official website of the store, in cooperation with photographers, art directors
and models.
5. Fashion Photographer
Since fashion and photography go hand in
hand, this is a great opportunity for you to enter this fabulous world. Fashion
photography is an amazing way to get started in this field, and you as a freelance
photographer can begin at
your campus publication or local paper. Fashion columns need photographs to
follow the story, and here is where you take over. In this way, you will be in
control of the creative process, and you will build up your portfolio at the
same time.
As you can see, there are many aspiring
part-time jobs that can bring you extra money and some contacts which will be
useful for your future jobs. After all, any experience in fashion is good experience,
and any of these jobs can help you make progress. Good luck!
