2.9 Challenges and Opportunities
For the challenges and opportunities of this website, there are four limiting factors that must be considered:
1. More participants are required. Although I initially invited nineteen fashion graduates to participate, only ten ended up contributing to the website.
2. This website has limited visibility and evaluation. Yet, there is more than one source of knowledge available.
3. Limited transferable skills can be acquired through this online fashion website.
4. All ten participants thought they had gained some skills, but they also felt that using these skills to get a job would still take further accumulation and time.
2.10 Next Step
Going forward, I will invite two fashion graduates to join the second intervention, such that the three of us may mutually exchange our fashion expertise in a face-to-face environment. The first participant, Nai, taught me how to create atmospheric photos, learning from each other offline to help us both in our future careers. In exchange, I taught her job-seeking-related skills, such as sales experience. Similarly, the second participant, Maggie, taught me styling, whilst I in turn taught Maggie how to photograph.
