While your Instagram and Twitter accounts may serve as windows into your personal brand, there's perhaps no part of the professional sphere as paramount as your resume:
Author:Maura BranniganPublish date:May 19, 2016Updated onOct 18, 2018Welcome to Career Week! While we always make career-focused content a priority on Fashionista, we thought spring would be a good time to give you an extra helping of tips and tricks on how to make it in the fashion industry.
We spoke with editors-in-chief for both the print and digital realms, as well as top industry professionals, about what they look for when a resume lands on their desks or in their inboxes — and any red flags that might turn them off altogether. Read on for the most important takeaways. ...And that includes keeping it 100 percent typo-freeThis should go without saying, right? Apparently not. Christene Barberich, global editor-in-chief at Refinery29, says such mistakes can throttle the resume in question straight into the garbage. "If someone spells my name incorrectly or addresses me generically, like, To Whom It May Concern, it's usually an automatic delete or forward," she says.
Should you sense that your work history lacks a common thread, Aliza Licht, a digital strategic consultant, offers a constructive solution. "If your work experience is a bit all over the place and it's not clear what skills someone has, a great way to highlight those skills is to categorize them into topics." While we've learned to put our work experience in chronological order, Licht suggests organizing it within distinct subcategories.
Update it often to reflect the job for which you're applying"You want the person reading your resume to feel like your story is uniquely suited to the job you're interviewing for and you've been building from the beginning," says Chang. "It shows that you have a sense of direction and an understanding of your place in the world." That extra effort, while potentially time-intensive, is sure to provide a notable return on investment.
Even Barberich tinkers with her profiles and social media accounts to reflect where she is in her career. "As you learn and grow and become clearer about what you want to pursue and achieve, your resume and professional profiles should definitely reflect that," she says.
