Journey to Career Services

Last Wednesday, I visited the Office of Career Services, and initially met with the drop-in counselors. they talked to me about all the services that they offer, and even worked with me on doing my resume, which is one of the services that they discussed with me. I received samples resumes and a pathway of keys things to look out for when making a resume and looking for a job in Fashion Merchandising, which is my major. I later met with Jean Turner, who discussed with me what digital publishing was in a general sense, and what I thought of when we think of what digital publishing entails in the Fashion industry. Together, we came up with magazines, fashion books, blogs, literally its everything that is online. Digital publishing is everything that we look at on a daily basis. We moved into then why this is so important to understand.

lastly, Jean talked to me about goals i have, especially those pertaining to my future career. for me, my goals are to eventually be in a Lead Buyer position or Lead on Visual Merchandising position at a corporate level retail facility, like Target for example. knowing about digital publishing in these positions would be exceptionally helpful as there are many tools that I would be using in this field that would help me to improve in my job, as well as Target has their own digital publishing on their website.
