Many aspiring image consultants obtain experience by completing an apprenticeship or internship. Experience in the business world, especially in management and public contact, is essential for a career in corporate consulting.
To be a successful image consultant, you must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including good listening skills in order to be able to listen closely to learn your client's goals. You must be patient, positive, friendly, and encouraging in order to inspire your clients to improve themselves. An image consultant must also be poised, mature, and professional in all interactions with clients and potential clients. Consultants who plan to open their own consulting firms need business management skills, knowledge of computers and social media, and strong marketing skills. An interest in fashion and style will be very helpful.
