Ángel Lobo, HR Retail Director at Desigual, gave an interesting online session entitled "Profiles that fashion companies are looking for". ISEM Fashion Business School organized this webinar with the aim of helping all those who want to work in fashion and, in the words of the executive, "shed some light on the job opportunities that can be found in this sector".
"In a fashion company you can find many different positions," said Ángel Lobo, specifying that "not only those related to design or the store, but there is a large network of positions specific to the fashion sector, such as buyer or product manager, and other more generic positions also present in companies in other sectors: HR, marketing...". In this sense, Lobo paid special attention to the fact that "no two fashion companies have the same organizational structure".
At the end of the webinar, the Desigual executive revealed which positions are currently in demand in the sector and pointed out the need to train and specialize in the fashion sector. In addition, when faced with a job offer, he advised the more than 150 attendees: "Designing a good CV, highlighting the most appropriate points for the position, is key, as well as being natural in interviews".
An executive with more than 20 years of experience
Ángel Lobo has more than 23 years of experience in the retail sector, 14 of them working specifically in fashion. Prior to Desigual, Lobo held different positions of responsibility at INDITEX, where he spent more than 10 years. He defines himself as "a human resources professional who comes from the business" as his professional career began at Carrefour in positions such as store manager, sales trainer and supply chain manager.
ISEM Fashion Business School organizes different free online training sessions throughout the year. For this, the School has several personalities of the sector with the aim of bringing fashion to all those interested in starting a career in the sector or to continue growing within the industry.
