This week was something of a busy one but nevertheless very exciting!
From interviews to project planning, I was running from one thing to the next but all in the name of progress.
Speaking of interviews, I wore this rigout to a second-round meeting, which proved to be a very successful one.
I am so grateful, thrilled and super excited to say that I scored the job!
The position is one that couples my love of fashion with my flair for business and marketing.
A little over a year ago before embarking on my Masters in Marketing, my ambition was to find my place in the world of fashion marketing. I knew it wouldn't be easy, hell I didn't even know it was possible! But here we are and I am delighted that all of my experience, education and grafting over the past number have years have aligned to make this new role a fitting one for me!
Interview dressing can be tricky. Dare I say, stressful!
If you're like me and the thoughts of a pants suit or proper workwear makes you nauseous, you have to approach this subject from a different angle.
It is important to remember three things - dress appropriately, be yourself and show some personality, and be comfortable. Each one is self-explanatory I think?
My dress code was: fashion forward, impeccable grooming.
I opted for a clean and smart monochrome colour scheme (appropriate - tick!), a touch of laid back bohemian goodness in my cape (be yourself - tick!), and indeed the outfit was super comfortable.
Now on to the next phase - planning my working wardrobe...
Challenge accepted!
