FASHION graduate Mia Puzey completed her course at Somerset College, Taunton, and started work at New Look the following week.

Mia graduated with a First in fashion along with 355 other students at the graduation ceremony last month.

She found the transition into work smooth as she took part in placements at New Look before joining the company.

Mia said: “Starting employment is a very daunting experience.

“Luckily for me I was introduced me to New Look through placements, which made it a lot easier as I knew what to expect of the company before I started.”

At New Look she checks the quality and fit of garments before they go into stores.

She added: “New Look get you stuck in and learning all aspects of the business and give you the opportunity to see other sides of the business around the country.”
