Love this, I'm on the styling side so things are a bit different but many of the anxiety and concerns feel very similar. I think the biggest issue is the lack of constructive feedback and figuring out how to self critique when alone. Thankfully I've landed a job at a respected high fashion magazine which has given me access to respected professionals that can act as mentors and bridges to other places. I just wish there were more places online we could go to get more honest feedback like we can in a school environment! Thankfully there are many online resources and textbooks can be accessed for free, but the instruction and network are critical here!
Yes I totally agree. Getting constructive feedback outside of a school environment can be quite challenging! I’m glad you were able to find a great job! Networking definitely can not be overstated in its importance
