I am actively looking for a new job, as a fashion designer. Looking for a fashion designer job has always been a struggle, because open positions don't get posted, the quick way is knowing someone to get in touch with.
But hey, this is XXI th century, so I thought of Linkedin, being a platform where you can directly contact the right people, even if you don't know them.
Some years ago, I remember that, with Linkedin premium, you could directly private-message people you were not connected to (recruiters, etc). Today, I discovered that, even as a premium, which means paying 26 €/month, you're limited to 5 InMail; (good?) news is that, if you want more inMails, you can buy them at €10 each!!
Now I'm left here, 26 € poorer and thinking about how to use efficiently my only 5 InMail.
Do you guys think is better to e-mail Brand's Design Directors directly? or are the Human Resources in the huge maisons (Chanel, Dior) who look at "fashion designer" candidacies? I'm a bit lost.
