Yesterday, I went for a quick interview for an internship at The Daily Express newspaper and it seemed that when I got there, I had already got it, as they just wanted to meet me and sign me up for a particular month. I chose July, as I will hopefully be a graduate by then – though, again hopefully, not an unemployed one! The internship is unpaid, but in the current economical climate, any step on the career ladder is good at the moment! I think that in order to get into something like fashion journalism, what you need is experience and in order to get that, you need to be willing to work for free… probably in London. And in order to do that, you need some good friends who are willing to put you up, because after a four year degree and Lord knows how much debt, jobs that don’t pay anything can end up costing you. But, this is really worth it. I’m ready to slug it out with all of the other wannabe fashionistas… and hopefully come out on top!! So, this is my message to all other future fashion journalists: Grab every opportunity with open arms, even if it is writing a few articles for a small website. That website may grow and you may soar with it. Any experience is good experience and excellent to fill up your CV. And support other writers/bloggers too! I’m constantly trying to get people to read my blog and get it out there and I do that by reading what other people are writing and increasing their site traffic too! We’ll all get there in the end!
