An MBA after a Fashion Design degree can open up newer career avenues for you undoubtedly. It depends where you want your career to head. An MBA after a degree in Fashion Design and maybe a couple of years work experience can help you if you want to move towards the marketing side of fashion or into the fashion retails industry. Also, if you wish to take up a senior role in an organization like Levis, Adidas, Zara or even luxury brands like Prada etc. an MBA may offer you a multi-disciplinary and strategic edge, that will enhance your basic Fashion Design qualification. However, do choose your management institute, and the specialization there, carefully to maximize, it is in your career path.

Inspiration & Build upon your natural writing talent. To become a journalist, some intrinsic skills are necessary to achieve success. First of all, you have got to have an inquiring mind. You must be passionate about knowledge and learning, and willing to do what it takes to get at the truth behind a story. Education: I recommend pursuing a journalism degree and double majoring or specializing in your core interest areas. Still, journalism is a doing field. At the end of the day, you need to be able to talk to people, see trends, organize your research and communicate it in an engaging way. More and more, the onus is on individual journalists to come up with the ideas and report, write, edit, publish and promote the work themselves. That takes independence, drive and attention to detail, which can't be taught in a classroom. Choose your niche. Attend the basic courses in journalism, but make sure that you get classes in your chosen specialty. If you are interested in fashion reporting, for example, you may not have the same courses as someone who is studying investigative journalism. Become an expert in your chosen field. Read books, subscribe to magazines, and attend events anything to keep you current. Get involved. You must have passion for your subject. Indifference and apathy are the enemies of good journalism. Secure an internship (or two or three). Many Universities have newspapers, yearbooks, newsletters, or radio stations that accept interns. The experience gained is essential when it comes time to apply for a job. Write, write. Then, write some more. Build a portfolio of your work that you can present to future employers, and make sure its quality work. Read newspapers, subscribe to magazines, and explore books. It is very important to stay up to date on current events. Job Opportunities
Although media is evolving rapidly, I still put journalism jobs in two buckets: broadcast and print. Digital has now broken all walls and increasingly reporters are expected to file stories on webpages, digital platforms. So look for any opportunities. Be willing to start small. Think community publications, local newsletters, or small area newspapers. Anything to get your work published. If you have a hobby, look for opportunities to write a piece for a newsletter. Sometimes for free, but again anything to get your work published. Create an online presence for yourself by starting your own blog or website. Learn editing & Photoshop software.

Hi Design.

The utmost function of public relations is to make its clients image in the society. A public relations company has good media relations which becomes very helpful for their clients when there arises any crisis in the firm. The PRs share the insights of the problem with the media journalist's which makes a journalist aware of the happening. A PRO (Public Relations Officer) uses his terms with journalist and holds the power to stop the news to be disseminated in the media or if the news has already been shared he/she asks the journalist to publish an apology note or write the reasons for the mis happening which helps to restore the image in the public for their client. They uses there best of skills to manipulate the situation in favour of their clients and give them the constant support they need at that time. Being a normal person you can't make a journalist aware about the crisis and can't manage to get rid of the defaming that has already been done. A PR specialist makes PR plans ready which help clients gain the image back in front of the society. Good luck.
