Steps to get this job

1Lead your application with sweater-specific work: knit swatches, yarn/gauge decisions, and any private label or wholesale account experience
2Mirror their language in your resume: 'seasonal concepts,' 'technical sketches and specs,' 'commercially viable,' 'trend-driven'
3Prepare a portfolio section showing full concept-to-production flow on at least one sweater program, since they explicitly call out managing the 'entire design process'
4If you have Adobe Creative Suite certifications or specific tools (Illustrator for tech packs, Photoshop for presentations), name them directly rather than just listing 'design software'
