It was really helpful to have access to so many job types at one time so paging through it I could bookmark potential jobs from Product Management to Fashion Photographer to Visual Merchandiser. It covers the full spectrum and is a great resource for anyone still in college looking for their dream job! Sometimes its hard to match your skill set with a real job title and description but this book makes it so easy!! I definately recomend it to anyone in the design, fashion, or arts fields.

for anyone who's considered the wonderful world of fashion as a career, this book has a great range of the specific job titles, challenges, duties and typical progression to help you narrow down what job you want. the book is divided by categories that match the stages of development, ie. forecasting trends, manufacturing textiles, fashion sales (ie. retail) and merchandise marketing and related fields such as spa/wellness and interiors.

The book was in great condition. I received it in plenty of time for the first day of class. Thank you very much.
