The visiting card for any creative – and for anyone looking for a job – is one’s résumé, or CV.
A CV is fundamental when looking for any kind of job in fashion and must be prepared carefully and thoroughly.
How to create the perfect résumé? What are a successful résumé’s essential items and in what order should they be listed? How to highlight our background and our dreams for the future? How to highlight our extracurricular activities? And then: how to send out a résumé, and how should a creative looking for a job in fashion integrate one’s résumé with a portfolio and possible cover letter?
We addressed all these themes in a special webinar dedicated to the perfect CV for fashion, featuring Lory Yedid, Partner of Value Search.
A Fashion Portfolio is crucial for any creative looking for a job in fashion. Alongside one’s resumé, the portfolio tells who the designer is, and who they want to become.

Creating a successful and accurate Fashion Portfolio, explaining thoroughly the designer’s creative world, is the best way to find a job in fashion and gain visibility with head hunters and fashion houses’ HR depertments.
