Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or
business.
Job Description:
An image consultant is one who helps clients develop a wardrobe of clothing and
accessories that fits their lifestyle and person.
Education: None
necessary.
Skills: The
ability to help clients select a flattering wardrobe for their lifestyles.
Job outlook: The
job outlook will depend on your location, with more urban and metropolitan
areas having more of a potential client base than rural settings. As with any
service-related business, the successful ones are those that have a clearly
defined mission and customer base.
Possible employers:
Network at a variety of functions, including charity and business events, to
hand out business cards to garner interest.
Preparation: Join
the Association of Image Consultants International
for training and networking opportunities.
Get your foot in the
door: Ask an image consultant if you can tag along during a client visit to
see what this job would entail. Talk with personal shoppers at department
stores for advice.
Until next time,
Sarah
