"Not that long ago, companies wanted students who excel at math, merchandising, buying, product development and planning. But now, companies are also looking for students who want careers in virtual customer experiences, sustainability and data analytics, just to name a few," says FIT's Sackin.
"Get in the door of brands that you admire, because there's something to be said when we get a resumé in and someone is experienced and they were at Warby Parker for two-and-a-half years," says Davis. "That name on the resume alone is going to get people interested in talking to you."That said, there are also ways to compensate for a lack of professional experience in this relatively new, Covid-disrupted landscape.
