Internships and Part-Time Jobs in the Fashion World
Quarantine has given us all an opportunity to reorganize our rooms, catch up on our beauty sleep, and even advance our careers. However, in the past six months I have been reveling in a deep lethargy, with brief moments of productivity and organization. With the new semester, it’s time to change that. So, for those of you wanting to look into available jobs in the fashion industry, I have compiled a list of internships and part-time jobs that pertain to the fashionably inclined. Most of these internships and part-time jobs require minimal fashion and business experience, which is ideal for us college students looking to break into the industry! I found the following opportunities on Handshake.com, Internships.com, and Indeed.com.
