Apparel industry jobs (recruiters & agencies)
I intended for this post to be a catchall entry based on my most recent emails covering job hunting and the latest updates in shows, news and events but the day got away from me. Therefore, the entry has been reduced to a resource listing for the main fashion industry headhunters, recruiters and agencies which I guess is okay since today's previous post is also about getting a job. I haven't personally worked with any of these agencies but they all have live phone numbers. By all means, if you know of others, please add them in comments and I'll amend this resource list. Also, please report any problems or pleasures you may have experienced if this topic applies to you. Thanks!

I'm job search queen!
www.stylecareers.com- They will email you job listings only by region, so I'm constantly bombarded with all the great jobs in LA and lack of work in San Diego. Lots of good stuff on there though.
I had a phone interview scheduled with 24/7, but they never called me. When I called them to see what was up, nobody answered and no one ever returned my message/emails. They seemed nice and helpful though, before all of that! Good thing I found a new job without them.
I had an interview with a rock star in a starbucks from a fashion ad I replied to on craigslist. It was weird. That is all!

24Seven IS ALL ABOUT THEIR CLIENTS, NOT the job seekers. They have a hidden chart that resembles a notch post where they compete for trips to Europe, etc.
Watch for what you say. Your agent is NOT on your side, she is only trying to make her numbers.
As a piece of advice, try other agencies such as Fourth Floor.
