Thanks girl I graduated with my BA in Sociology. Writing is my passion I tried to settle even trying to go to the medical industry but I’m too creative for that so now I’m here 30 going back to pursuing my passion. I would love to have a career as a writer for a fashion or makeup magazine. I won’t give up on my passion ♥️
I’ve wanted to live in NYC my entire life and have been looking at a lot of apartments lately! (Just for fun. I gotta finish college first). Your videos make it all seem less scary and more achievable! keep it up sis 💗
Literally my dream job, I'm about to start my bachelors program in cosmetics and fragrance marketing at FIT so hopefully in a few years it will be attainable 🤞🏼
ooh great suggestion, thank you!! i've been struggling a little to find time to film/edit with work, etc and this is super easy to do. always appreciate seeing your comments 🤗💚
@@CarrieCarrollo Thanks for taking time to reply, I really like your content and tbh you could be reading a random article and I'll enjoy the sound of your voice lol. But I really do like the informative videos you have done. I am not planning to moving to NY, but it is interesting to hear about how to find a job and a place to live in such competitive and busy state.
This is so insightful and helpful! I know you get busy with work and can’t find time to film/edit. I think a great video from you would be a weekend vlog where you take us around NYC; your favorite coffee/bagel place, pizza, or whatever you’re doing that day off! Keep doing these videos, you’re a true gem
Carrie Carrollo i’m happy to, your videos are amazing. even though these beauty-centric ones aren’t my thing, i still watch them & i enjoy every second! and yayyy i can’t wait to see you take us to your favorite spots in the city, exciting!
Hello love! Thoroughly enjoyed your video (as always) but as a former recruiter of 3 years, I had to comment on your resume tips. I agree that its a great idea to have a neat resume template/matching cover letter. BUT keeping your resume to 1 page and taking off irrelevant experience are huge no-no's. Maybe if you're just in college and don't have ANY experience, right - you'll have maybe one page. Start with a summary (who you are/what you're looking for) then skills like Microsoft Excel, Outlook, SharePoint, etc. then whatever experience you have. BUT. If you have more than 2 years of experience it is absolutely OK to go onto 2 pages. For techies, it can go to 3 even 4. A resume is your chance to SHINE. Keeping it to 1 page seriously limits your ability to truly paint a picture of what you've done. You want to give yourself credit for everything you've accomplished! As far as taking things off your resume, please don't. 1) if you have gaps of employment in your resume, employers WILL ask in an interview, and it will be a red flag if you were actually working during that time. (You can put the dates in the gap and a short summary like "searching relevant employment"). 2) I thought some of my experience was irrelevant to my current position, but when they asked me about it, one of the things I'd done was actually VERY helpful to the job I'm in now. So...again, don't cut yourself short. FINALLY - I'd add a tip that during an interview, you should ALWAYS be prepared by looking up the company beforehand. If you're interviewing at a car company, look up the meaning behind their logo. If you're interviewing at a magazine, make sure to browse through some of their prior issues and get to know their style. It will leave a great impression on them that you did your homework. Ok, that's it :) Have a great week! Hope this helps!
hi, thanks for your comment! i appreciate how thorough it is, however just want to reiterate that these tips are specific to the *editorial industry* (and entry level, in most cases). i'm sure tips vary significantly based on industry (you obviously wouldn't want color and more stylistic fonts on your resume if you were in tech, law, etc), and the tips i shared are ones i've heard from editorial recruiters and more senior editors. i also do talk about looking up the company beforehand in the video. thank you!
This is such an amazingly informative video. I am moving the New York this summer so that is how I initially became a subscriber, but now this video has provided even more insight than I could have ever imagined! I have worked in communications for a good bit, but now I’m fully taking the dive into editorial work. Thanks Carrie! I’m so glad I found your channel. ❤️
thank you, i'm so glad it was helpful! i wish i could've watched something like this when i was going through it all, so that's why i do these videos. rooting for you!!! 💚
thanks for this video, i loved it :) I really enjoy your informational content like this, and I liked the week in your life video! For future content maybe like a “outfits of the week” that you wear for work? I would watch something like that!
Carrie, this was amazing advice! I’m studying journalism now in college, and I love my major but I have to admit that I hate social media 😕 I know this is a majorly unpopular decision. Do you think someone like me, who has no social media, could still break into the editorial field?
thanks, i'm so glad it was helpful!! and yes absolutely. i think social media and the editorial industry go hand in hand at this point, but it's absolutely not a requirement for people to have personal/public social media accounts. it can be helpful in some cases, but i know a number of people who have a very quiet social media presence or none at all 😊

I would definitely love a get un-ready with me type of video. But tbh anything you post is always nice to watch. Awesome video btw! Love your content.

You're so wonderful to take your time and talk about this. Thanks!
Carrie this is so SO helpful! Thank you so much for making this
i'm so glad! thank you 🖤
I’m not in the editoral industry (techy here!) But I still wanted to know how this works for your industry because it’s so different with mine
i can only imagine! thanks for watching and commenting again 🖤
thanks for this video, i loved it :) I really enjoy your informational content like this, and I liked the week in your life video! For future content maybe like a “outfits of the week” that you wear for work? I would watch something like that!
thank you 💖i can definitely do that!
Such a lovely lady with a beautiful personality to connect “grass roots” style with others
thank you so much!
Yay for the new video ♥️
💖💖
I love your videos and I hope you continue making more! I'm hoping to live in nyc in the future
i'm definitely going to keep up with the videos! good luck with your (hopeful) future move here 💖
Super helpful video!
your the best
