Fashion Career Websites and Agencies

Mintel:

Completely useless for looking for careers in Fashion however, I then just tried typing 'Fashion' into to the search box and I find some really useful information and statistics. It redirected me to 'Mintel Oxygen'. I think this is promoting jobs in the business sector, there is more information to do with the business and financial side of fashion as appose to jobs themselves. There are many issues that have been reported on, on the website such as size issues in fashion for example. I think the only way Mintel will help me is if I am in need of some fashion facts and statistics.

Fashion Monitor:

Fairly easy to use however, to look at current updates you need to be a member and sign-up to the site; this to me just means more junk mail. I did look at the job opportunities and it has become clear that it advertises mainly for experienced people in the fashion industry and those who are more in the promotion side of fashion. There were no jobs at that present moment in any of the design and construction areas and especially not a recent graduate.

Companies House:

First impression were pretty poor; it is not very appealing to someone with a creative mind and eye, it is not at all easy to access. I believe this site would be more useful to people wanting to start a business, which may be me in some years to come but I'm not in a hurry to throw myself into that just yet.

Fashion Index:

Seems to me that this website is advertising new and small business, the site re-directs to several other sites. It is definitely what it says on the tin, meaning it literally is the index for all the fashion needs of anyone in the industry. There are links to manufacturers and cloth warehouses. It would be very helpful to me if I do begin my ideas and are in need of the above sources.

Draper's Record:

Lots more job opportunities and of course we know that Draper's is a reliable source, unfortunately there are few careers for a graduate only 6 when I looked. A definite bonus of this site for jobs is the more detailed descriptions and the adverts aren't only for jobs in London but all over the U.K. Sometimes I can be a little delusional and believe I am going to land myself a career in London and in fact it would be more beneficial to me if I were to find one either closer to home or Bournemouth for my first job after graduation.
