CAREER: MAKE YOUR FASHION STYLIST COVER LETTER STAND OUT!

Monday, August 25, 2014


Recently I got contacted by one of our avid readers who wanted to know how to go on about applying for a job as a fashion stylist either at a fashion magazine or fashion house. At this point I realized there isn't a lot of reading material for those who want to apply for fashion-related jobs so I decided to do a tad bit of research and came up with the following pointers.

The fashion industry is more about style, innovation, and creativity. Therefore if you want to increase your chances of making a successful career in this profession, you need to depict these qualities in your cover letter and make the employer interested in your profile.

The cover letter should be well organized, impressive, and perfectly drafted to prove your suitableness for the applied job position. Below are a few listed cover letter tips:

  1. Maintaining consistency: It is always necessary to keep consistency in your cover letter in order to make it more enhancing and readable. There has to be consistency in your language, quality, and flow of the letter. Inconsistent cover letters really put off the mood of the employers and cause the job applicants to miss the golden job opportunities. 
  2. Appropriately mentioning the personal details: The personal details mentioned in the cover letter are needed to be right and accurate. The reader usually refers to your personal details to get connected with you and discuss about the hiring procedures. Your name, address, phone number, email address generally constitute the personal details section. 
  3. Using professionalism: When writing a cover letter, it is very essential for any ambitious job applicant to show professionalism in every aspect. The language and tone used in the document should have a professional touch to make the reader well impressed about your personality and attitude towards your career. 
An example of a fashion stylist job cover letter is given below for your reference:
