Description

Georgia Rhodes is a final-year student with already a lot of big fashion magazines on her resume including Marie Claire, Glamour, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, CR Fashion Book. I met Georgia in 2020 as she is one of the students of my online course Break into the fashion industry + The Fashion Writer Accelerator and in the past 3 years, she has achieved so much. I am really proud of her and happy to have been part of her professional journey and excited to share this interview with her to know where she is today. After an experience with a fashion marketing internship, she realized that writing was what she preferred doing.  She felt the pressure of getting an internship for her placement year especially when she realized that applying to fashion is different from applying to any other job. It was a nerve-wracking experience as her uni didn’t really guide her on how to approach practically the job search process. She then stumbled upon the course Break into the fashion industry and after being encouraged by her grandparents to invest in her career, she enrolled and finally started seeing the first results. Her first experience with a magazine was at Marie Claire. She was one of the students to get the internship at Marie Claire in partnership with us exclusive for students of our academy. She then went up from there landing one internship after another at other major publications including Glamour, Elle, CR Fashion Book, Harpers Bazaar…Today, together with writing her dissertation, she is working as a freelance for the luxury online retailer Farfetch as Content Writer as well as writing for CR Fashion Book. In this episode we chatted everything about: how she realized that fashion was made for her and why ended up studying fashion marketinghow she understood she prefers writing over marketingfears and doubts about getting the first internshiphow she managed unpaid internshipshow she landed her first internship at Marie Clairethe strategy she used to land multiple internships at Glamour, Elle, Cr Fashion Book without living in a fashion capitalhow she stays organized to manage her fashion jobs remotelyhow she juggles studying with her current role at Farfetch and CR Fashion Bookthe difference between writing for magazines and being the Content Writer for Farfetchthe tools she uses in her joband her advice to land a job in fashionExplore the courses Georgia enrolled in:Break into the fashion industry courseThe Fashion Writer Accelerator CourseVisit our website for more career advice: www.glamobserver.com Follow us on Instagram for daily updates: @glamobserver
