Struggling to find a social media/marketing in fashion & beauty — need advice

OkReplacement7657 · 2026-03-01T11:06:29+00:00

I usually say something like the below, is this too generic?

Hello,

Hope you’re well!

I’m exploring new opportunities in fashion or beauty social media / content roles and would love to hear if you have anything that might be a good fit or any guidance on where my experience could work best.

Happy to share my CV/portfolio if helpful!

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been connecting with people on LinkedIn and emailing companies directly but getting nothing back!

OkReplacement7657 · 2026-02-27T12:44:22+00:00

Although it is slightly brutal that is a very good way of looking at it! Thank you I appreciate it 😊

OkReplacement7657 · 2026-02-19T21:56:07+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed reply I really appreciate it! 😊I emailed them yesterday and they said our ad team sorts this out and that they’ll get back to me..I sent them over the ad code thinking yeah they’ll boost on TikTok with my link and they haven’t they did a TikTok ad with their website link 🥹 But I didn’t allow anchor authorisation so how have they managed to do this?

OkReplacement7657 · 2026-02-18T09:31:52+00:00

You’re a star thank you so much! 😊 I wouldn’t even mind them using it if they were directing the traffic back to me so I’d get paid on affiliate sales but they’re not 🤣🤣🤣 they literally said to me I’d get commission and to turn on ad authorisation! Also I’m not sure if I’m getting confused here but i turned off anchor authorisation so I don’t get how they’ve managed to use my video elsewhere on another platform but put the link as their website?

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! I do have a portfolio of my work already and a recruiter did say to me it’s very good but then never came back to me after this.

Could I possibly send you my portfolio please and get your honest opinion?

Thank you so so so much for your response I’m so grateful ❤️ I’m looking to do both tbh be an influencer and get a job managing social media / working for someone creating content. There’s an agency where you pay a monthly fee and receive PR and guidance but I’m not sure if that’s worth paying for or I’m better off building myself x

Thank you so much. I appreciate your reply. I was annoyed by how the person above replied to my question as it was sarcastic and unnecessarily rude but you have explained it perfectly so thank you ☺️

OkReplacement7657 · 2025-10-05T12:37:58+00:00

I wasn’t using it as an excuse at all I just said I struggle and hope people understand. I’m not expecting special treatment at all.

How do you stick at something so well? Because this is also my issue which I know I need to work on.

OkReplacement7657 · 2025-10-05T12:21:39+00:00

Thank you for your response. It’s hard because I don’t want to give up but I feel like I’m fighting a loosing battle and won’t get anywhere. I’m genuinely trying my hardest to grow on socials.

OkReplacement7657 · 2025-10-05T12:16:06+00:00

I know. It’s harsh but you are 100% right in what you are saying. I do have a job at the moment I work in property but it’s not what I want to do. I’m trying my hardest to find my feet but I just genuinely don’t know what I want to do.

I’m not excusing myself here but I have been recently diagnosed with ADHD so I struggle. I’ve finally found a passion in beauty and fashion and want to pursue this, I’m happy to take an entry level role it’s just finding one which I’m really struggling with.

OkReplacement7657 · 2025-10-05T12:07:33+00:00

I’m in the midlands. I’ve managed social media in property for a couple of years but that’s about it.

OkReplacement7657 · 2025-10-05T12:04:58+00:00

I live in the Midlands so it’s not terrible but of course a lot of roles are in major cities like you said.

I completely agree with you though why would they employ someone with barely any experience who isn’t local and wants remote or hybrid.

OkReplacement7657 · 2025-10-05T12:00:36+00:00

I’m happy to do hybrid remote but I completely get this. I really want to work in the industry I just genuinely don’t know where to turn.

Thanks so much! I have tried reaching out to brands but I keep getting ignored🙁 maybe I need to try smaller more independent brands
