Impress Fashion Industry Recruiters

StyleCareers.com/StylePortfolios.com conducted a survey of over 200 fashion industry recruiters regarding their interaction with job seekers. Here are the Top 5 things that impress fashion industry recruiters:

1) Interview preparation (researching company, industry knowledge, well thought out questions).
2) Thank you note (paper or electronic).
3) Well written resume with a cover letter applicable to company/position.
4) Self presentation (nicely dressed, etc).
5) Genuine interest in the company.

Honorable mentions include:
· Providing work samples
· Relevant references
· Positive attitude

The bottom line is that job seekers who are thoughtful in every step of the job search/interview process are more impressive to recruiters. Remember, at the end of the day, it is people dealing with people!
