Jobs in the fashion industry...

AARRRGH

Hello

I was wondering what websites you guys use to find jobs in the fashion industry? The reason I ask this is because I'm after making a small website (Fashionjobs.ie) which collects the fashion jobs from the main job websites such as loadzajobs, monster, fas, etc.

Can you think of any fashion jobsites I can include in this list, i.e. are there particular job websites people use when they are looking for a job in the Irish fashion industry? If there are, I will add the jobs from these sites to fashionjobs.

Any advice or pointers appreciated.

Thanks!

inretail.co.uk, drapersonline.com/jobs, retailchoice.co.uk all cater for the fashion industry in all areas. College websites will often have jobs too. www.arts.ac.uk can come up with a few. Also theappointment.co.uk and fashionunited.co.uk

Hope that helps.

Irish fashion industry? We're getting there I hope but the idea that there would be enough paid jobs out there (aside from retail) in the Irish fashion industry at any one time to fill more than a postage stamp is fantasy!

Try nixers.ie (same as jobs.ie) and the newspaper websites. I got my first fashion design job in Ireland through an ad in the Evening Herald.

Also ask the colleges. Limerick School of Art and Design occassionally send out letters about available jobs to alumni.

Thanks a million for the reply DesignLady.

Are those websites for the UK only, or do Irish companies advertise there as well?

Irish companies often advertise there too because apart from Futura which has a limited readership, there aren't a lot of industry specific outlets in Ireland to advertise in.

Nixers.ie is great for Irish retail jobs though. I've had a look at your website and saw that it featured heavily in retail jobs so if you need more that's a good site to check out.

The only thing that turns me off the site personally is that when I look up designer or fashion designer, I get lots of mangerial and retail jobs back and have to look through them all and the same result when I put in pattern grader and pattern cutter. That's the reason I only ever used industry specific sites when I was job hunting. Nothing worse than putting in designer and getting a load of ad's with 'manager needed for designer retail' and 'got a designer flair for accounting'

The site is a good tool if you want a job in retail but not so much with other aspects of the industry (design, cutting, grading, marketing, sampling, QC, distribution, R&D.....) and if you are looking for one of these jobs fashionjobs.ie would seem like the natural URL to go to.


retailchoice.co.uk and inretail.co.uk have excellent search systems that I would recommend looking at.

Watch out for this. It was on the first page of your site. Probably a problem from the original site but it's an instant turn off.

I agree. There is an advanced search function which allows you to search for very specific phrases. For example, doing an exact search for "fashion designer" will return different results then searching for the terms fashion and designer. Do you know what I mean?

Yep, I noticed there are very few fashion designer type jobs on the main jobsites (monster, etc.) so I do need to add some fashion specific jobsites. Thanks again for your suggestions, I will work on them this weekend.

That horrible long job advert which you pointed out - they are hard to stop as I am taking the material off the various jobsites. I'll see what I can do though.

Cheers!
