⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Applying with a generic resume and cover letter that do not mention the company's mission or the specific role's focus on sustainability.
  • Underestimating the importance of the social justice aspect; the company is not just a fashion brand, so failing to show passion for the cause is a major turn-off.
  • Not preparing to discuss how you would work with a young, remote team; lack of remote work experience or flexibility can be a red flag.
