Cultivate your network, but don't post on job boards or on social media.

article: It is generally better to keep your job while looking. This will keep you in touch with industry contacts that can help you get a job, and most firms prefer to hire people who are currently employed. However, there are reasons to quit without another job lined up: If the stress of your job is so great that it is compromising your ability to seek employment, then you may be better off quitting to focus on your job search. Quitting for family reasons to care for a newborn or raise children is generally seen as an acceptable reason for a career gap. If you are planning on starting your own business, then you will usually need to quit your current job to devote adequate time to the new venture. In most cases, you will want to keep your search a secret even from your boss, and especially form your coworkers. Don't let them know until you are ready to leave, as this will create tension in your current workplace and often lead to a search to replace you as soon as possible. The exception is if you have a very close relationship with your boss, of if he or she has warned you about upcoming layoffs and offered to help in your job search. Even co-workers who are not part of your online social networks may be checking your profile. Instead, use your professional network more discretely: Don't wait until you are searching for a job to develop a network. Keep your LinkedIn profile up to date, but don't mention you are looking for a job. LinkedIn is one of the first places hiring managers will look when weighing your application for a job. Increasing your visibility is key. Join LinkedIn groups with people in your profession, preferably those one or two stations higher. Like their comments, and then reach out privately to say you liked the comment they made and ask to connect. Catch up with contacts you have made through your work. You don't need to ask for a job. Focus on their work and the needs of their company. Again, the key is increasing visibility. If they happen to need someone in your field, then you can mention that you are interested. Be sure to ask that they keep your search confidential. Use professional organizations. Annual meetings are a particularly effective place to network, but again, be sure to ask that your search be kept private. Stay positive. While it is tempting to bemoan your current situation, it is also counterproductive. Focus on the future: your ideal job, your talents, and your results. If asked why you are leaving, simply say you want a position where you can use more of your talents. You don't want your boss learning about your search from someone calling to check a reference. If your only references are from your current job: Direct your potential employer to a recommendation or endorsement on your LinkedIn profile to show success at your current job. Emphasize to potential employers that your search is confidential, and tell them that upon receiving a signed offer letter, you will happily let them check with your current management and coworkers. If you do decide to list references at your current job earlier in the hiring process, choose people you trust not to reveal your search, or people who have recently left the company. Be sure to speak with your managers or coworkers before listing them as references. Don't use company phones, email or internet. Don't look for jobs while at the office. And schedule interviews during non-work hours. If you dress business casual and need a suit for an interview, then change outside the office. It is easy for enthusiasm to slip once you begin a job search, but if you do not continue to work hard and complete work on time, people will take notice. By lying, you will ruin your credibility and the chance of your boss serving as a future reference.

Write an article based on this "Build a portfolio. Find a mentor. Be competitive and creative. Get fashion-savvy. Show your personality."
article: A portfolio is an investment into your future and should reflect the highest quality that you are able to produce. Protective sleeves should not only conserve the quality of your work but should also allow you to change the content easily. Keep the content neutral as trends change quickly. Your portfolio should evolve with your changing fashion sense. Create a budget for your portfolio and do not present it unless you are absolutely satisfied with your work. Depending on what type of fashion you want to get into, your portfolio may either have a focus or be neutral. For example, if you want to focus on men's athletic gear, you won't include pink bows and lace. Be mindful that your actual portfolio will be looked at as well as its contents. Fashion is an industry that focuses on style so present your contents in a stylish portfolio or any potential employers may make a snap judgement and not even open it. Focus on your strengths. For example, if you have difficulty spelling, make sure you have someone proofread your work. If you excel at illustrations but do not have an eye for presentation, ask a graphic designer to help you with the layout. Find someone who you would like to emulate in the industry. Whether it's through a school or just sending emails to a company that you would like to work at, finding a mentor can be difficult so you must put in the time to show your passion. Often a mentor will be very busy and have others asking for her time and advice so make yourself stand out. Do not limit yourself to only one mentor. You may have several people giving you advice on different parts of the fashion industry. Moreover, you may have mentors outside of the industry as you can still gain valuable knowledge and skills that you're able to translate to the fashion world. For example, you may find a mentor in marketing to help you market yourself to potential employers. Fashion is a very competitive industry to break into so you must pair hard work with your creative talent. There may be a lot of applicants for a single job posting so check in daily so that you're the first to apply. Let your creativity guide your perseverance so that you stand out from the rest of the competition. Showcase your creativity with writing samples, mini-magazines, blogs, or your own fashion site. Be entrepreneurial so that potential employers see both your passion and get a sense of your sensibility. Attend events and read fashion blogs to immerse yourself in the industry and meet people. The more people you know the better chance you have at finding a job that's suited for you. Give out your contact information with a business card or ask for a business card. Someone more established in the industry is less inclined to reach out to you after only a short chat whereas you will be motivated to seek a more in depth conversation. It is very important that you look your best and exude your fashion sensibilities when you are attending events. Dress for the occasion and prove that you belong in this world. Let your personality shine to show your potential as you may not have the industry experience to get you noticed. For example, if you've studied in Milan or are understand how to incorporate ''smart'' technology into garments, showcase what makes you unique.

Follow the example provided, listing at least of few characteristics of the item, including gender, size, color, and style. A category will then be suggested for you, and if it seems accurate, click on "Create Listing." For example, a search for "women's gray LL Bean capri pants size 10" will recommend the category of "Pants." Include basic elements such as brand name, style, color, and material. The more descriptive your title, the more often the item will show up in shoppers' search results. For example, an appropriate title for a pair of jeans is something like, "Ralph Lauren Polo Jeans Black Classic Boot Cut Size 8." Be as descriptive as possible, including the brand name, material, size, color, and any pattern or embellishments. Use adjectives such as "dark" and "light" for colors, since the photo won't appear the same on all screens. For women's dresses give waist size and dress length, and for men's shirts give armpit-to-armpit length, plus sleeve length. For example, a good description of a vintage blouse would be, "Vintage 70's Pat Argenti sheer ruffle front blouse. Small black buttons in back, faux button front. No size tag so please check measurements for fitting. Measures unstretched approximately: 40" (102cm) bust, 40" waist, 23" (58cm) shoulder to hemline. Dark green velvet ribbon detailing. Please note ribbon coming apart near the neck, also separating near the underarm & bust seams." Give all measurements in both inches and centimeters for the convenience of international shoppers. Other helpful measurements include bust/chest, waist, hips, inseam, pant length, and bell width (for skirts or dresses). You have the option of selling the item at a price that you set, or putting it up for bid along with the option of a fixed-price sale ("Buy it Now"). If you're concerned about your auction item selling at a really low price, you can set a reserve price under which it can't be sold. Otherwise, for less valuable items, setting a low starting bid at $1 or lower can attract a high volume of bargain hunters. The greater the number of bidders, the better the chance for bidding competition that elevates selling prices. On the "Create Your Listing" page, in the section titled "Bring your item to life with pictures, click on "Add Pictures." You can add one photo for free, but additional shots will cost a little extra. It's worth paying this extra price, especially for the more valuable items, to add several pictures for the the customers' convenience. You can make three shipping price options available to potential customers: free shipping, flat fee shipping, and calculated cost shipping. Offer at least one other method besides free shipping in case the customer needs expedited shipping. For flat fee shipping, you set the shipping price when listing the item, based its packed weight. Use eBay's shipping cost calculator to help estimate a cost for your item. With calculated cost shipping, the shipping cost will be calculated for your customers at check out, based on your zip code, the customer's zip code, and the weight of the packed item. You'll be given the option to choose mail carriers and shipping speeds to offer to potential buyers. Make as many shipping methods available as you're willing to accommodate, but try at least to offer several expedited shipping options, since some customers might decide not to buy your item if they can't get it promptly. Strongly consider offering free shipping: it's an incentive to buyers, you'll get an automatic 5-star seller rating for shipping, and you'll show up higher on the list of shoppers' searches for your items.
