Around 50 percent of employees do not know or understand what is expected from them at work, according to research conducted by management consulting company Gallup. Without this knowledge, one’s confidence can falter due to a lack of awareness on how to perform well in your position. In order to feel better prepared for what is expected of you in the workplace, Stefanie Sword-Williams, author and founder of consulting agency F*ck Being Humble, which aims to change the way we self-promote, recommends regularly referring back to your job description. This way, you will have a clearer understanding of how to meet your workplace’s expectations — and how to exceed them. Sword-Williams, whose work includes hosting motivational talks, events and employee training, also suggests asking for the job description of your immediate senior. “That way, you know when you are performing at a higher level, which can open up conversations around responsibility, rewards and progression.” Read the full article, How to Build Confidence in the Fashion Workplace, on BoF.

While studying pre-med at Northwestern University in Chicago, Jason Bolden worked in luxury retail stores like Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Oscar de la Renta, where he began building up a client list. Bolden later moved to New York, where he opened a vintage store in Soho called The Garment Room, which curated vintage collections. When Gabrielle Union, an actress and friend of Bolden's, asked him to style her for the for-profit art fair Art Basel in 2011, "the phone calls started rolling in." Today, the celebrity stylist dresses the likes of rapper Wiz Khalifa and athlete and entrepreneur Serena Williams. “I research designers, artists, architects — I go across the board. The more you know about things, the more you can connect them to your ultimate passion. You are then able to understand and have a full conversation about anything.” Dive into the article, How I Became...

Mitigating existing educational or vocational gaps requires you to be aware of your current positioning in the job market. “The first step is to do a self-evaluation — know what your core skills are, what you are good at,” said Sheena Butler-Young, senior workplace and talent correspondent at The Business of Fashion. “Then figure out what your objective is, the job you are going after. Find on LinkedIn the person that has that kind of job and look at their job description or their skills or responsibilities, and [compare them to your own].” Once you have identified these gaps, make them your areas of focus by developing a strategy to learn and upskill, taking into account your free time and available resources. These may include university or alumni networks, free or limited education programmes as well as in-company training and mentorship schemes. “Be intentional about where you want to go, constantly evaluate the skills that you have and figure out if there are deficits [and try] to fill them. [...] There is not a lot of room in fashion to rest on your laurels,” added Butler-Young.
