Prepping for an interview in the Fashion industry is just like prepping for ANY industry.

Last month, StyleCareers.com conducted a survey of 150 fashion industry recruiters and 400 fashion industry job seekers. Their goal was to find out:

-The MOST COMMON interview questions asked by fashion industry recruiters
-The MOST DIFFICULT interview questions for candidates

Here were the interesting results:

So the key for ANY interview regardless of industry is to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

Our advice to job-seekers during an interview?

-Be prepared to answer the above questions

-Put together an interview Q&A cheat sheet and review it before your interview. You don’t need to memorize it word-for-word. In fact, you should have notes to refer to in the interview.

-If you’re asked a question that throws you off, take a deep breath and repeat the question to give yourself some time to answer

-HOW you answer interview questions is just as important as WHAT you actually say. Speak slowly, don’t forget to smile, and always look at the interview directly in the face.

Good luck!
