5 Tips to Crafting the Perfect Fashion Resume

1. Clean, Easy to Read Format

It doesn’t matter what job you are applying for. Clean, uncluttered and easy-to-read are exactly what a resume should look like.

Even though fashion is often about extravagance and playing with bold textures and colors, your fashion resume should never give someone a headache.

But that doesn’t mean you have to stick to a tired and boring resume style. You can use Adobe Spark Post to help you choose a template that is sleek and modern.

2. Mirror the Job You’re Applying for

One of the biggest mistakes many job seekers make is that they use the same resume for every job they apply to.

Instead, you should tweak your resume to the specific job you are applying to. This applies both to your resume and your cover letter.

Pull out keywords from the job posting or company website and use those in your resume and cover letter. Whether its a computer program or an HR person scanning the pile of resumes, the right language will get you looked at.

Sure, it will mean spending more time on job applications, but the number of interviews you’ll soon be getting will make it worth the effort.

3. Make Your Fashion Resume Free of Errors

Typos are a huge no-no, even for jobs that don’t have anything to do with writing. A typo gives the impression that you don’t pay attention to detail.

And fashion is an industry that cares very much about attention to detail.

Also, triple-check that your resume is addressed to the correct person, that you’ve spelled the company name and hiring manager’s name correctly

4. Show Off Your Skillset

You don’t have to have 10 years of experience in the fashion industry to create a compelling resume.

You may need to be creative to show that you are well-rounded and interesting. Highlight your volunteer and internship experiences.

And if you’ve worked part-time serving french fries, no problem! Highlight your customer service skills.

Your task is to show what makes you distinct from all the other applicants. Are you great at computers or phone sales? Tell them!

You never know which unrelated skills might be attractive to an employer.

5. Throw in Some Creativity

You’ve likely seen some absurd and “creative” resumes that have gone viral. But putting your resume on a billboard may not be the best way to land your dream job.

A sure-fire way to impress potential employers with your creativity is to let your portfolio speak for itself. You can push the boundaries here and show your creativity in any way that you want.

If you can think of a way to go above and beyond, this is where you can do it.

Bottom Line

There you have it. 5 tips for crafting the perfect fashion resume. Come back soon for more daily fashion, design and lifestyle content for you to enjoy.
