StyleZeitgeist Job Board

[Faust]

Dear members,

We wanted to get your view on a new potential feature on SZ, the job board subforum.

The job board would be a pay-per-post service with reasonable rates for both prospective employers and employees. Given that many industry professionals and university graduates browse SZ (we now get nearly 1.4 million page views a month) and that SZ is a highly specialized and curated place for fashion with a worldwide reach, this seems like a viable marketplace.

Shops could look for new sales people, designers for pattern makers, assistants, interns, show room reps, design companies could look for graphic designers and coders with a fashion aesthetic, media reps could look for photographers, stylists, etc.

A corresponding job seeker board would be established as well where professionals will be able to post links to their resumes and portfolios. Each employer would have access to such a board.

Please let me know your thoughts on whether you would be potentially interested in participating.

Great idea

especially a lot of people would like to post these things but not in an improper space

[mortalveneer]

Given the income level (and possible background) of many members, jobs in fashion-related legal and financial issues would also be welcome (hopefully to more than just me).

^ I second this, let's not limit ourselves to the creative side.

^ ive thought about this before, but didnt know if it was encompassed/appropriate

JUST AT THE RIGHT TIMING TOO FAUST :)

I think it could become a destination for a jobs board across the creative industries. I have the impression there are lots of members from a variety of creative/artisanal professions.

I work in advertising but I use the site often for research/inspiration. It's a natural segue. I would pay for it, for sure.

[bryantyj]

That is a marvelous idea. If i can travel abroad and work, that would be perfect.

Ditto. Seems a good idea.
