If you don't already know, the fashion industry is one of the most competitive industries there is - which means getting that job, is a lot harder than you think. The first step to getting that all important interview is having a CV that not only showcases your experience and skills, but creating one that really stands out. It's important that your curriculum vitae reflects your personality, and shows the employer that you're the one for the job.
Nowadays, you need a CV for pretty much anything, and in my case, I'm applying to University. I am currently a fashion student, interested in applying for Fashion Journalism, so it's essential I feature all my sales experience and blogging platforms in mine. It must also be creative, reflect me as a person, and advertise the best version of myself - stressful right? Not at all. We are in a digital age and with a simple google search, for example, "curriculum vitae template" you have the world at your fingertips... however, the best ones are usually ones you have to pay for, but if spending a tenner means getting that job, it's definitely worth it.
To make your CV creative you could do anything, experiment with origami, print onto fabric, or as I did, experiment with your technical creativity. I used Etsy for a CV template from The Resume Boutique, and used this template, priced at £12.22.
The template comes equipped with a two page CV, a cover letter and a references page, along with step by step instructions. Once purchased, you receive an email with a link to download and edit in Microsoft Word, and is compatible with both PC and Mac. After that, you fill in your details, skills and experience, and you're good to go.
Make sure that you show yourself off as much as possible, and if you don't have much experience, volunteering is never frowned upon and Universities really encourage it.
