Today we had an industry lecture with Fashion stylist and assistant manager at Scruffy Bird; Susie O'brien. Susie started off at the BHH creative advertising company and explained that they have a good internship programme there called BBH home grown.
The main thing I picked up from Susie's talk was about her portfolio. She said that we should have a brief 'about me' section, maybe with an image of ourselves and include a brief introduction about ourselves, how long we've been working in the industry and our proudest moments etc.
She also mentioned that it would be a good idea if we had out own Facebook styling page, LinkedIn and maybe a personal blog. She said that in the fashion industry it's all about contacts and networking.
After this talk I decided to edit my personal blog, and create a LinkedIn page. Here are screen shots of both of those.
