I like being spontaneous on the job5/20/2023 The need for cold pitching companies is even stronger if you work as a freelancer where you’ll spend 60% of your time introducing you and your services to potential customers or companies you would like to work with. You never know what happens in the company, so why miss opportunities? Some companies may be impressed by your spontaneous application to the point of setting up an interview to meet you in person and open a position for you or keep your application for a future position. But many times, a well-made spontaneous application allows you to receive a job offer: maybe the company needs someone with your expertize but has not yet published the job offer because they are looking among their contacts or because they will shortly open it or the person covering your future ideal role resigns one week after your cold pitch email. If you worked in marketing previously, and your favorite company currently has no open position in this department, you can contact the company explaining your skills and saying that you are interested in working there.Ĭompared to when you apply for a position opened by the company, the chances of getting a job through a spontaneous application are lower, especially for large structured companies. This is why in this post, I will explain the importance of a spontaneous application and how to cold pitch companies to get a fashion job.Ĭold pitching companies for jobs means that the company does not have an open position that is right for you, so you will have to contact the company by introducing yourself, showing your interest and explaining your ideal position based on your previous experiences. Generally, every company publishes the job offers online, but just because word of mouth is the most powerful way to get a job in fashion, in a large part the jobs, especially those that are not internships, are assigned for word of mouth: one person knows another who works in a company and changes role by moving into the new, without the offer ever being published online and therefore without you being able to apply. Most of the times, t he job research process become stressful and in some cases hopeless. The fashion industry is very competitive, there are so many people who are keen on working in this sector that, although there are many fashion companies or agencies, the job offers are always less than those who are applying. On the contrary, it represents the biggest obstacle of all those who dream of entering this sector. Finding a job in fashion is not exactly one of the easiest things in the world.
