Thanks for the great advice. My daughter and I spent some time over the weekend following your suggestions and we're working on polishing up her resume to…"
Sandra McCartt replied to Doreen Koronios's discussion 'How do candidates in "niche" fields find employment?'"There appear to be multiple websites for fashion stylist jobs. Try thecreativeloft.com. Indeed and Simply Hired are also showing listings. If you do a google search for fashion stylist jobs New York City it looks like there…"
Sandra McCartt replied to Doreen Koronios's discussion 'How do candidates in "niche" fields find employment?'"Doreen,
Your daughter should go to the home page for all the fashion magazines, go to their careers page and check the lisitings. Cosmo for instance as we speak has an opening for an associate fashion editor. The job requires about a…"

Doreen Koronios replied to Doreen Koronios's discussion 'How do candidates in "niche" fields find employment?'"You are awesome. Thanks so much. I already told her about your kind responses and we are sitting down together tonight to get her LinkedIn profile completed and signing her up into the appropriate groups. Can't…"
Doreen Koronios replied to Doreen Koronios's discussion 'How do candidates in "niche" fields find employment?'"That's a great idea to look for fashion industry associations. I'll discuss it with her tonight. Thanks again.

Kyle Schafroth replied to Doreen Koronios's discussion 'How do candidates in "niche" fields find employment?'"Ah - that's definitely the added layer of complexity. I'm not entirely sure what sort of professional networks or communities might exist for the fashion industry (or industries depending what areas she is considering) but if there are…"
Doreen Koronios replied to Doreen Koronios's discussion 'How do candidates in "niche" fields find employment?'"Hi Denise. That's a good question and one that we are trying to find out. I agree with both you and Kyle - she needs to build up her network in order to find work. From all the research we have both done, that seems to be…"
Doreen Koronios replied to Doreen Koronios's discussion 'How do candidates in "niche" fields find employment?'"Thanks for the response, Kyle. I think part of the problem is that she didn't graduate from a school in NYC where most of the fashion industry companies are located. When she graduated, she didn't have access to the…"
Kyle Schafroth replied to Doreen Koronios's discussion 'How do candidates in "niche" fields find employment?'"Quite a tough situation - for both of you! As the parent you probably feel the stress as much (or more) than your daughter.
Honest question - what's her network look like? Who has she been meeting and learning about/from? What organizations or…"

I need some advice from the group. My daughter is looking for work in the fashion styling field. She would like to work in styling photo shoots for magazines, etc. However, there are no recruiters for the fashion/styling field that we can find. If she was an accountant or a marketing person, for instance, there are plenty of recruiters who are experts in helping one find a job in those fields. However, in this "niche" field, how does one find employment? She has a degree in Fashion…See More
Bill Ward commented on Doreen Koronios's blog post 'Resume Verification - Don’t Be Fooled By A Smooth Talker'"The point is that your former company did exactly what you suggest Doreen; verify the degree. Unfortunately they did so AFTER hiring this individual. Depending on how long he was there, it cost the organization time and money. The moral to this…"

Resume Verification - Don’t Be Fooled By A Smooth Talker
Posted on June 9, 2010 at 12:24pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
It’s a well known fact that some people lie on their resumes. There are plenty of statistics around that show the percentages. Some people embellish a little, some embellish a lot, and some outright lie. Most of the time, that lie is about their education. According to the Society for Human Resource Management, one in four candidates misrepresents his or her educational attainment. If someone lies on their resume, how can you trust them as an employee?
I can remember several…

Companies now, more than ever, are shifting to a paperless work environment. As I look at my own desk, bulging with piles of paper, it’s not hard to justify the ROI on making such a move. I must admit, I am a little “old school” about holding on to my files and printing copies of everything that I also file electronically. But I’m finally at the breaking point as my workspace becomes smaller and smaller and my piles become higher and higher. I’m ready to embrace an e-friendly paperless…
