Perusing the internet for creative work, any creative work, I came across a post looking for freelance fashion writers. Unpaid. Meh. Getting paid is sort of the goal here because ever since I have been back out on my own, I have been really tight with money. Restarting your life takes money and people generally save up for these kinds of things. Ahem Monsieur Flâneur.
Wanting to get comfortable with submitting pieces, gaining confidence in my work as well as having an outlet to get my creative flow on outside my office, I thought why not? I'm not an established writer and I've got to start somewhere. Looking back, I was an unpaid fashion intern for a year before I got my first paying job many moons ago. In most coveted fields, sometimes thats the way it goes.
I received an immediate response and set up a phone interview with Christophe for the following day. Without knowing, I was communicating my experience outside of writing as I was asking what I thought were basic fashion website start-up questions. The result? I was asked to help spearhead this fledgling project on a more senior level. Paid.
I accepted.
Can we cue in 'Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves' s'il vous plaît?
