6. Give an example of how you set goals and achieve them.
Within a few weeks of beginning my first job as a sales associate in a department store, I knew that I wanted to be in the fashion industry. I decided that I would work my way up to department manager, and at that point I would have enough money saved to be able to attend design school full time. I did just that, and I even landed my first job through an internship I completed the summer before graduation.
