I’ve been applying to beauty and fashion roles because it’s something I’m interested on but I mostly have sports apparel/beverage work. I’m good, awarded, hard worker but I get passed on by people with worse book because they have experience. What could possibly be so different that I can’t pick it up quickly with a proper onboarding. I mean sports apparel and fashion are pretty much the same shit. Just different vibes.
Honestly people are really thick and vain. They are overlooking a whole pool of good experience talent just because they think what they work on are very unique.
If it was an industry with a lot of regulations like pharma I’d understand.
We deal with this a lot too. Paying your dues, having a solid reel showcasing your range, coming personally recommended by a colleague to the agency team, etc, all means nothing if you don’t have experience in the very specific type of work being produced. Been editing for over a decade across many brands and styles but sure yeah I guess I’m not qualified 🙄
