Activity Week 8: Karla V

My career in visual merchandising, out of the twenty one choices, is an independent stylist.
 
1.After searching on careerbuilder.com, I found that the most job openings for this type of position is in California. However, most job opening were at Petco's working as a customer advisor. The primary location for this type of position is nationwide. You work online, from your home, or any location that you chose!
 
2. The national average salary for an independent stylist is $35, 723. I'm sure with your own cliental and as you expand, you could make a lot more on the side.
 
3.The qualifications needed in order to become an independent stylist are self starting personalities, organized, internet access and internet|computer|social network experience, creativity, dedication, and fashion knowledge.
 
4. As far as education goes, having knowledge in fashion is obviously important and being organized. Having computer skills are important too and good networking skills. A fashion degree would be useful.
 
5. When researching for the top individuals within this position I found Stella & Dot. Stella & Dot happens to be a brand created by a lady named Elise Lininger. She's an independent stylist and from what I saw she manages most of her work through Facebook. She has almost 8,000 likes from different people around the world on her page. She promotes her business through how to videos, top 10 most popular items now, pictures, and more. I do personally follow on instagram a young girl who calls herself JNELV I believe it is. She is a independent stylist and has gained a lot of exposure through social networking. I admire her talent and dedication. I plan on sometime very soon, experiencing what she has!
