My First Job | How I become a senior knitwear designer
My First Job | How I Became a Senior Knitwear Designer
Hi everyone! 🌟
Welcome back to my channel! Today, I'm excited to share with you the inspiring story of how I embarked on my journey in the fashion industry and became a senior knitwear designer. This is a tale of dreams, determination, and a lot of hard work. Whether you're an aspiring fashion designer or just love a good success story, this video is for you! 🌈
🎓 My Early Aspirations
From a young age, I was fascinated by fashion. I once believed that becoming a textile engineer was the path to becoming a fashion designer. This misconception stemmed from a mathematics class where a boy announced he was selected for a textile engineering degree. Our teacher explained that textile engineers make garments and use mathematical knowledge to create precise designs. I thought they were the same as fashion designers.
📚 Advanced Level Education and Waiting Period
After completing my advanced level education, I faced a long waiting period before receiving my results and starting university. Instead of idling, I decided to find a job to gain experience and keep myself busy.
🚛 First Job in the Logistics Department
I landed a job in the logistics department of a garment factory. It wasn't glamorous, but it was a start. The best part? The logistics department was right across from the product development department, where all the designers worked. Separated by a glass wall, I watched them sketch, test samples, and create beautiful pieces daily. I was captivated.
🤝 Meeting a Mentor
One day, while running errands, I met a warm and friendly woman from the product development department. Gathering my courage, I asked her what qualifications I needed to become a knitwear designer. Her insights and encouragement fueled my dreams.
🚌 Company Transport Conversations
The company provided transport for employees, and during these rides, I noticed a stylish lady from the product development department. One day, I struck up a conversation with her about the department and the qualifications needed to work there. Her guidance further solidified my determination.
💼 Manager’s Support
As time went on, my desire to become a fashion designer grew. One day, I needed leave to submit university documents. When I approached my manager, he asked about my future plans. I told him about my interest in textiles and fashion design. A month later, he informed me about a vacancy in the product development department.
📊 Starting in BOM Costing
The vacancy was for a Bill of Materials (BOM) costing position-not exactly a designer role, but it was in the product development department. I saw it as a golden opportunity and eagerly accepted. The department was led by a kind, elegant lady who always wore a radiant smile. She hired me for the BOM costing position, marking my first step into the creative world I longed to join.
📝 Practicing in the Product Development Department
Before my official transfer, my manager allowed me to spend two hours every evening practicing in the product development department. These sessions were invaluable. I absorbed everything I could, and finally, my transfer was complete. My excitement knew no bounds.
👗 Becoming a Junior Knitwear Designer
Just one week into the product development department, I received incredible news. They needed a junior knitwear designer because one of their designers was leaving. This was the break I had been waiting for, and I jumped at the opportunity.
🌟 Learning and Growing
After becoming a knitwear designer, I practiced hard to learn the intricacies of the craft. Knitwear designing is a unique task; it’s not just about creating designs. You need to understand yarn stretchability, machine programming, and more. I was very happy working there and absorbed every bit of knowledge I could.
🌟 Career Progression
Over time, I advanced from a trainee to a junior designer, and then to a designer. My dedication paid off, and eventually, I became a senior knitwear designer. It was a dream come true. I practiced hard, learning everything I could about knitwear design. It wasn't just about creating patterns; I had to understand yarn stretchability and machine programming.
