One-on-One Fashion Internship & Career Coaching Sessions

IMG_3886 copy.jpg

Feel stuck? Don’t know how to move forward with your fashion internship search, or search for your first job in the industry? Stressed out by the process in general? Tired of not hearing back from potential employers?

Sign up for a one-on-one virtual internship or career coaching session with me, Carla, to perfect your cover letter and resume, work on interview prep, and more.

Did you know that the majority of jobs—between 70 and 80 percent—are not secured via job sites, rather through networking and internal referrals? This is especially true for the fashion industry, and what makes interning such an important experience. Interning is how you begin to build your trusted network.

About Carla

I’ve worked in the fashion industry for 12 years, founded the top fashion internship website, and am a professor at a prestigious fashion college in NYC. I have a Master’s in Strategic Communications from Columbia, and am currently a candidate for a Master’s in Management at Harvard. I’ve lectured at universities such as Harvard, NYU, Parsons, Columbia, FIT and Ohio State about fashion internship and career preparedness. I know what employers are looking for, and can help get you on the right track. I’ve helped dozens of fashion industry hopefuls secure their first fashion internship or job, and would love to help you next!

I exclusively work with college students and recent graduates because I intimately understand the unique challenges and needs you have as a young adult at the start of your career in fashion.

These coaching sessions are meant to help you live out your dreams. Securing the right internship is a crucial key to landing the job that will launch your career, and my track record speaks to my ability to help students land fashion internships and jobs that set them on the path to success.

Choosing the right internship is one thing—landing it is quite another!

It’s never too soon to start working towards your future. Let me help you map out and navigate your career path in fashion while you’re a student so you’ll have an easier time landing employment after graduation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the sessions conducted?

Once the session is booked, I will send you a Google Hangout link - that way we can actually engage with each other “face to face,” and share screens so we can make edits to your resume and cover letter in real time.

What will we discuss during my hour long session?

That’s completely up to you. I want to make sure that we discuss your biggest pain points, so I can set you on the path to solve them. Prior to our call, I ask that you let me know what your biggest pain points are, and we will structure the hour to address those issues.

What if I don’t even know where to start?

Don’t worry. If this is the case, we will start at square one! I suggest you sign up for an hour long session to start, or if you’re really ready to commit to taking the first step towards a successful career in the fashion industry, book the Four Session Strategy Package and let me set you on the path to a bright career in the fashion industry.

What’s covered in the Four Session Strategy Package?

We will overhaul your resume, cover letter, create an internship or job search strategy, conduct a mock interview, and discuss tips for success in your internship or first job. We will also review your social media channels to ensure they are up to standard, and i’ll advise on ideal activities and leadership experiences that will keep you on the right path when you are between internships. Most importantly, you’ll have unlimited access to me via e-mail in-between our sessions for any questions you may have!

Oops, something came up. Can I get a refund?

All sessions are non-refundable. You can reschedule once for a more ideal time with 24 hours notice. The Four-Session Strategy Package must be completed in four weeks, and is non-refundable.

Do you offer 30 or 45 minute sessions?

After a year of offering 30 and 45 minute sessions, I came to the conclusion they were never enough time to really get down to the nitty gritty. Sixty minutes is the minimum amount of time we need to get you on the path to success!
