im glad someone else took the plunge here!!!
anyway, i work at a small luxury boutique in the US, it WAS my dream job but i've found the politics and lack of organization in what is basically a mom and pop store extremely troubling. it's funny because i'm working with rick, yohji, issey pieces but when i have to be around them all day and try to sell and merchandise them, i lose interest in them. it's part of the reason i won't move to new york, i like it too much to actually want to live there.
the more i work there, the more inspired i am to find some fledgling independent boutique or designer and offer them everything i have, the people i idolize are so commonplace i can't give them any more enthusiasm. maybe i'm jaded?
there's a job opening with UO for a trend analyst and i'm very close to applying but applying online sucks and i'm trying to make my resume and CR as perfect as possible so i can finally escape retail. i would love if anyone would like to take a look at my resume for now, i'm trying a different approach to make it stand out from the absolute nightmares i see every day.
