Hello all,
I'm just nearing a degree in fashion design, but after 3 years of insight into this sector of the business and various work experiences in different parts of the industry, I've found I would rather pursue a career in the more business related departments of fashion.
My dilemma now is whether to focus on Buying and Merchandising or PR and Marketing.
While looking and applying for internships, I've found that some roles have similarities, especially in small businesses.
So would it be possible to start in one sector and move into another?
Or would this looks unfocused to a prospective employer?
My c.v. is already mostly design/creative, so I'm worried employers will think I'm dabbling in all areas but not having a motivation for one.
Also, I'm thinking of supplementing my experience with a short course in Buying and Merchandising or Marketing at LCF. Any experiences, views on these courses?
Mods, I couldn't find a relevant thread, but please move if there is! sorry/thanks!
