Fashion Jobs: How to Use Fashion Week to Score a Position in the Fashion Industry

Jobs in the coveted fashion industry are always as slim as the latest cover models. But during Fashion Week, a door that's almost always closed to the public slides opens a bit to allow a larger audience of fashion hopefuls to take a peek and maybe even get a foot in the door.

Whether it's volunteering to assist models backstage or interning at one of the showcasing design houses, Fashion Week allows more accessibility to the esteemed world of fashion than you'll see at any other time of the year. Jobs in the industry temporarily become more prevalent, and using this opportunity to its full advantage can boost a job candidate into the whirlwind realm of couture and design overnight.
