EOC: Week 5 Exercise

Reflection:

I have many plans for the future of my career and depending where I end up I am open to different aspects of the fashion industry. I would like to move to the east coast and pursue a career in either Fashion PR or as a fashion buyer. I would also love to work in editorial for a fashion magazine and even write for a magazine as well. In order to make these plans happen I intend on envisioning where I want to be and never giving up. I will work hard and take risks in order to achieve my goals. Along the way there will always be mountains and road blocks, some of these road blocks include the poor economy with a horrible job market, “Thirty five percent of unemployed college graduates and those with advanced degrees have been without a job for more than a year, the same rate as unemployed high school dropouts, according to a Pew Fiscal Analysis Initiative study” –Bonnie Kavoussi, www.huffingtonpost.com money issues will always arise, especially when planning on relocating and of course there will always be those people you encounter who don’t even want to give you the opportunity to prove yourself. I think it will take about 4 or 5 years to really reach where I want to be. To enter the industry with a position and a company I see potential in and the time to work hard and prove myself and make my way to where I want to be will take some time and over the experience I am sure to change paths at some point. As long as I remain devoted, passionate and focused on my goal, I am sure that I will get in, no matter what door I climb through. “Fashion is Vera Wang’s passion. She has dedicated her life to becoming a leader in the industry and is an excellent role model for anyone who aspires to succeed in business. She has proven that you can pursue your dreams and reach your ultimate goal.” –Brand Story page 86
