Announcing Yoxi’s Next Competition: Trim the Waste of Fashion

Here’s something we didn’t realize until recently: what you wear impacts your health and the world around you.

In the nearly $1 trillion clothing industry, waste abounds from the estimated 15-20% of fabric trashed on the cutting room floor, unsustainable material sourcing, massive carbon emissions when transporting products from manufacturing centers, gallons upon gallons of wasted and polluted water during washing and dyeing, as well as wildly excessive packaging, tagging, and storage. Fashion choices matter to everybody, not just models, magazine and style mavens.

That’s why we’re challenging teams to reduce waste and increase sustainability in our clothes. Take a look at this quick vid we made that shows you all that goes into our fashion choices – with a sexy twist. See if you have what it takes to Trim the Waste of Fashion.

Compete to win up to $40,000

Can you develop the winning solution? A new product, innovative business, mobile app, program for schools or communities? Yoxi gets you started on your project, whatever it becomes.

Graphic Design alumni shares internship advice with students

Rob Roan, a graphic design alumni, spoke at a Career Services Week event in the 2010 fall quarter. Roan had a variety of internship experiences when he graduated from our school in 2007. He shared his experiences and some advice with AI New York City students who are about to embark on their mission to find an internship.

Roan empathizes with the feeling of being underprepared for an internship search. He told students that companies are aware that interns are underdeveloped in certain skills. “They know that they'll hire an intern specifically for certain things.” Rather than worrying about their technical weaknesses, Rob recommended that students focus on their strengths. “They'll match up your skills to what their needs are.”

He suggested that students hit as many interviews as they can. Once they get that internship, its important to treat that internship as a real job. “Be there on time, do exactly what your told and try to do more and that way you get the recommendation that you need.” It shouldn't matter if the internship is paid or unpaid. The importance of an internship is that students get the valuable experience that they need to get a foot into the industry.

Industry professionals and Alumni guest speakers, like Rob, visit AI New York City to impart advice to students. Take advantage of this Career Service resource and visit these events every week 4 in the gallery. If you'd like assistance in your internship search, don't hesitate to set up an appointment with your Career Services Advisor.

Week TEN job leads

***SPECIAL Note*** : If you want to have your resume reviewed before you send it out to an employer, or if you need coaching about how to present yourself and interview powerfully, call me to set up time for us to meet: (212) 625-6038.

NOTE: Some of you have Bachelor’s degrees, which is why I include some job leads that prefer or require Bachelor’s. Some of you come with years of design experience (those who are changing design worlds) which is why I include some jobs that require a few years of experience.

2nd NOTE: The jobs are listed by MAJOR. There is also a GENERAL section for non-industry specific jobs.

JOB SEARCH RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Create a profile on linkedin.com and link up to everyone that you know, especially people in your industry, including instructors, career service advisors, and any friends you have that are already working in your industry. LinkedIn is the most widely used website for employers.


2. Clean up your Facebook / MySpace page, make sure it looks professional, and make sure the picture of you is professional. Employers do look up potential employees. Watch what you say when you update your page.


3. If you get an interview or hired at one of these jobs: CALL ME!!! (212) 625-6038. I want to be able to congratulate you, celebrate with you, and keep track of how well you're doing.

Carmen’s Job Search tips:

1. Keep in mind that any money is better than no money. So don’t be too proud to work for low pay in a place that is not where you want to end up working after you graduate. If you do a great job even at a low paying job, and choose to enjoy doing it and have fun working there, chances are you will attract either a raise, or an even better job very quickly. And even if you don’t, you’ll still be having FUN working rather than being miserable and resentful that you’re not paid much.
2. Look for places that you like to go to and spend time in. Chances are you would enjoy working there and will make a good impression when you go in to meet with the manager.
3. Make sure to meet the manager, and make a great impression. Make sure he/she remembers you favorably, not as a slob who’s desperate hoping to be hired by someone.
4. After filling out the employment application or submitting your resume, call them within 24-48 hrs to
1. Make sure they received your application/resume, and have they had a minute to review it?
2. Make sure that they remember you positively
3. Let them know how much you would LOVE to work there, and what you do well that you would love to contribute to their business. How perfect the job would be for you and how perfect you would be for the job.
4. To ask if you could come in for an interview.
5. DO NOT wait for them to call you, they may be way too busy to remember. Be proactive!
5. When you get an Interview:
1. SHOW UP 10 minutes EARLY! Not ½ an hour, not 1 mn, but 10-15 mns early makes a great impression.
2. Look GREAT! Well combed, dressed, showered, smelling good. Do NOT smoke before an interview: it leaves you smelly, and a lot of employers will be turned off by that.
3. Make sure that the manager/chef/interviewer knows that you really want the job. NOT that you’re desperate for the job, because that’s a turn off. But make sure they know that you are VERY interested and that it would be the dream job for you, and that you would be the dream employee for them.
4. And make sure you figure out quickly if this job is a good fit for you or not. If it’s not, thank them for the opportunity to interview, and that it does not look like it’s a great fit. Do NOT take a job that you have a bad feeling about. It’s guaranteed to end up being a miserable experience. You are worthy of having a good job that matches you well.
5. Always call or email the person who interviewed you within 24 hrs to thank them for the interview, to tell them that you’re very interested in the job, and that you look forward to hearing back from them soon.
6. When you get the job offer that you want:
1. Thank the interviewer very sincerely, and send them a thank you note for the job offer. Immediately!
2. CALL ME! Let me congratulate you, honor you, and if we get lots of students getting jobs, maybe we can have a mini party to celebrate my job getting rock stars!
3. Show up ON TIME every day, and if you even THINK that you might be late or absent, immediately call them to let them know.
4. Have FUN doing a great job. It will make you look good, it will make us look good, and it will attract the perfect FT job once you graduate and are looking for more hours.

Note: If you wish to no longer receive these emails, please email Carmen or Brenna back to let us know and we will remove you from the email list.

Students Assist with Anne Bowen's Fashion Week Presentation

Once again, the students at the Art Institute of New York City were instrumental during Fashion Week. Not only did our students volunteer as dressers, ushers, greeters and givers of gift bags, but one special group put together designer Anne Bowen’s entire presentation. The “Oneness” Presentation on the eve of February 21st was constructed in one day by our students, using yarn, string, hammer and nails. Under the direction of the designer and event planner, they visually merchandised the space, dressed the models, greeted guests and enjoyed the party. Pictured above is smiling student Terri Todd, who was hand-picked by Anne Bowen to be one of the Volunteer Team Leaders.

2. CALL ME! Let me congratulate you, honor you, and if we get lots of students getting jobs, maybe we can have a mini party to celebrate my job getting rock stars!
3. Show up ON TIME every day, and if you even THINK that you might be late or absent, immediately call them to let them know.
4. Have FUN doing a great job. It will make you look good, it will make us look good, and it will attract the perfect FT job once you graduate and are looking for more hours.

Note: If you wish to no longer receive these emails, please email Carmen or Brenna back to let us know and we will remove you from the email list.
