Cold Email Lands Fashion Job in NYC
21 Aug
Summary
- Master's graduate emailed CEO directly for a fashion job.
- She sent a presentation, not just a resume, adding value.
- A 15-day wait led to an internship and then a full-time role.
A recent Master's graduate, Ahalya, pursued her fashion career dream in New York City by employing an unconventional strategy. Despite having no prior connections and facing hundreds of applicants, she directly contacted a company's CEO via email.
Instead of a standard resume, Ahalya submitted a comprehensive presentation detailing her potential contributions to the brand. This calculated risk paid off when the CEO's assistant reached out after a fifteen-day waiting period, offering her an internship.
Within six months of starting her paid internship, Ahalya was promoted to a full-time position, enabling her to work in fashion, travel for business, and attend fashion weeks in New York.
Ahalya encourages others to take similar calculated risks, emphasizing that a single, well-crafted email can lead to unexpected opportunities, regardless of one's background or connections.
