Hi! It's possible to pivot careers within the industry. I was in Intimate Apparel design for almost 10 years and have transferred to legwear/socks design. It's a different animal. My role has been in more merchandising and leading a small design team due to working on a high-level account. I positioned my transferrable skills to the role when I interviewed a few years ago. They looked at my design skills, how well I could work with other teams or factories to meet deadlines, my attention to detail, and my ability to be flexible and learn. I work with designers who came from other categories including accessories. I suggest you position your transferrable skills to be in favor of the job you want. You'd be surprised what's out there. Good luck! :)
You're welcome :) that's awesome you work in legwear. Great to hear you are working on tailoring your resume to the position you want! You got this! Good luck!
