September marks the beginning of my second year at university, bringing me to the point of setting new personal goals and aspirations for the upcoming year.
Last year provided me with so many exciting opportunities and allowed me to take a step into the Fashion journalism world. I now feel confident that I have found my writing style and now have journalistic skills across multiple platforms. However, there are still many goals I would love to achieve, to further myself even more.
This year I would like to improve my online interviewing skills, although I conducted many interviews over email and WhatsApp last year, I am yet to master the skill of video call or audio interviews. I feel as though I need to develop more confidence in this area, rather than be subjected to just one field of interviewing, that I already feel confident with.
I would also like to create more fashion and beauty based content, including style guides, latest news from the industries and listicles. I was able to create this content more freely in last year's Forecasting Fashion Trends module, however I hope to continue this into second year - as these are the industries that I enjoy and would like to pursue in my career path.
I pride myself on my time management as I love to complete tasks early, yet I can still find myself facing stress where the work feels near impossible. Therefore, this year I would like to focus on setting specific times for me to complete my work, whilst giving me time to unwind. I am hoping this will further benefit the quality of my writing and resulting in myself feeling less under pressure.
I am looking forward to what opportunities 2nd year has to bring for me and aspiring to develop both my professional and personal skillset even more.
