Hello


Thank you very much for contacting Mera career guide and writing to us. I am glad you have contacted us to seek guidance on your career. First of all, I wanted to tell you what really means diversifying a career. Diversifying a career means expanding current opportunities and expanding the network of work. Expanding current opportunities could mean seeking more assignments either within the company or from outside of the company. It is to do challenging job roles that match your skill that comes your way from anywhere. The more jobs you do to expand your skill, the more you could develop and sharpen you work skills. So try accepting jobs that comes from various departments within the company. Companies also post internal day jobs, meaning any one who has expertise in a particular job from other department could give a try and do the job. This way, they are getting recognised more by other departments in the company and also developing their skills. So try accepting roles internally that matches your fashion designing skills.

Now, external opportunities! This is where you get to meet lots and lots of people to network and expose your designing work. You are seeking opportunities outside your company. So you are getting to post your requirement and do jobs for others and earn money, recognition and also professionally develop yourself.Some of these ways could help you diversify your career externally.

1. Teaching: If you achieved a great level of expertise in your work, you could probably leave your current corporate career and go into teaching. You could approach design schools to either work as a teacher full time or part time.
2. Freelance: You can accept freelance jobs that comes your way. You can also try approaching certain companies or design schools who post short term job assignments now and then. You can also do short term jobs for some designers who post their requirement.
3. Part time designer: Try seeking opportunities from other reputed companies for part time roles.
4. Work for a clothing studio: Try working for a designer shop or clothing studio and put your designs on their display to earn some extra money.

Hope these ideas help you.

Many thanks. Good luck.
