MyFashionCareer was started to provide opportunity to young people aspiring to work in the fashion industy. The fashion industry has many job opportunities and openings that lead to creative, rewarding careers. However, often times, people get deterred from their dreams, because they see the challenges, but not the goals.

Too many people say, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” and that’s just wrong. It helps to know the C.E.O. of the biggest firm in your industry. But it’s not necessary, in fact it might be better to know no one and make a fresh imprint.

In fashion, as in any industry, the harder you work, the smarter you work, and the more determination you have, will ultimately lead you to more success and happiness. The fashion industry is fast paced and always changing, it needs creative people who can adapt to changes in style, technology, and the economy.

If you want to be successful in the fashion industry, and in your fashion career this is what you need to do: Work Hard, Work Smart, value the people you meet and know what mutual benefits can come from your relationship. You need to be constantly learning and trying to improve your skills and abilities.

If you’re willing to work hard to get where you want to go in fashion, you will meet who you need to know, and learn what you need to learn. But that’s only if you’re truly dedicated to getting a career in fashion.

About Maria:

 

Maria Pesin is the founder of MyFashionCareer.com.With over 30 years of fashion industry experience, Maria has helped build several brands, worth more than $20 million each. She’s now the president of the outerwear division of Fleet Street Ltd., responsible for The Jessica Simpson Collection and Kensie Outerwear.

Maria Pesin is what you might call a “self-made” woman. Growing up from a humble beginning in Brooklyn, over the course of her illustrious career, she has been able to overcome major setbacks and stare down overwhelming adversity to climb the ladder of success. Maria would be more than happy to share her story, or listen to yours, feel free to call her at 845-608-7502.

As the divisional president of major fashion brands, her day to day responsibilities are making the final decision about designs, products, and strategic business moves, as well as maintaining a positive company moral. Maria will tell you that the road to success is often long, and at times you may feel like you’ll never reach your goal and want to give up. But that attitude is all wrong, and the most successful people know, that if you want to succeed, the most important ingredient in reaching your goals is persistence.

If at first you don’t succeed, you need to try again. This is a recurring theme in the life of Maria Pesin. Knowing she wanted to be a career woman she knew that her success was directly related to how hard she tried. This is why she relentlessly went after every job she’s ever wanted, and got them all. This is also why she would call on accounts even after they had rejected her, often turning them from contacts to clients, by showing them her dedication and ability, in and out of the conference room.

Maria Pesin is currently doing speaking tours, and still has openings this year to visit your school, charity event, or corporation. She is also still the President of a major fashion brand, and shows up everyday for work on Fashion Avenue in the heart of New York City’s fashion district. Maria continues to shape pop-culture and fashion trends, and will for many years to come.
