OPPORTUNITIES: Online Jobs boards

A couple of our favourite jobs boards online:

Gumtree

Often overlooked for job vacancies, Gumtree.com is filled with opportunities in fashion, textiles, pattern cutting and dressmaking.

The competition may be high, but if you’ve got a clear and concise CV and portfolio of your work, Gumtree is a great resource to find jobs.

Graduates from our Pattern Cutting programme or dressmaking courses often ask how to take the next step into finding employment with this essential skill, and although not a trade resource, Gumtree is a good place to start. Search within your local area and see what’s out there. Its also a good gauge of how much you can hope to earn through positions within different areas.


Fashion United

Fashion united is an amazing resource, and all round fashion hub, that we use for fashion news and information. Their jobs board is a great place to find positions within creative and practical fashion roles.

Its also a great place to find internships, and although we don’t advocate unpaid work for an unreasonable period of time, some of the short term internships would provide you with some priceless experience.

  2. I have been working in the fashion industry for 10 years now, and I found finding a fashion job when first starting out a little difficult, but I have come across some great websites that had quality fashion positions: www.ragtradejobs.com and www.fashionfirst.com.au. Everybody wants experience first, which can be hard if it’s your first fashion job,however I found doing a short course in Fashion Design a great way to get experience and knowledge of the industry.La Mode College has some great short courses, and they include how to get work experience as well.They have a short eBook on how to get into the fashion industry and become a Professional Fashion Designer.Worth a read! Hope this post was helpful!!
