WHY BEING PART OF THE
NETWORK OFFERS
YOU A CAREER ADVANTAGE
I thought it was really sweet you couldn't find this position anywhere else. Since these are trying times, there’s been a general lack of jobs. Having first access to a job position through the ENTITY network is nice. It’s great to have a first look at jobs you can't find anywhere else.

I love the fact that I get to work with female entrepreneurs and work flexible hours from home at the same time. The ENTITY job announcements are great for me to access resources and opportunities that I wouldn’t have come across otherwise.

Hands-On Industry Relevant Training to Build Your Portfolio
I am very excited to be getting on the ground floor of a company that is in rapid growth and is doing amazing PR work in the midst of a pandemic. I saw the job posting via an ENTITY job announcement and ENTITY Founder and CEO Jennifer Schwab helped me prep for my interview, so I always felt supported.
The digital marketing and content creation sessions we completed were super helpful in terms of allowing me to train for a field I wasn't necessarily sure I would be applying to a year ago. Experience and industry knowledge were things ENTITY provided me with. I also believe that the interview workshops helped me consolidate my skills and understand what to expect. The Sway Effect interview was the first real job interview I completed and without ENTITY's help, I probably would not have landed the job!

MAKE YOUR INVESTMENT WORTH IT
I hold a Community Management position with Purlisse and YENSA — both owned and operated by female powerhouse and ENTITY Mentor Jennifer Yen. The connection that I made with Founder and CEO Jennifer Schwab at ENTITY has been my saving grace. I graduated college just as COVID-19 hit, and the job market was by no means hiring new faces. After submitting well over fifty job applications, I decided to reach out to Jennifer Schwab for advice and she did everything in her power to help me and see that I found a spot in the workforce.

ENTITY was a launching point for my design career and helped me build a network that was incredibly helpful during the hiring process. The Photoshop skills I mastered while at ENTITY are especially useful for my responsibilities as a graphic designer. I enjoy working alongside my fellow ENTITY alums while at Purlisse.

JENNIFER YEN
Founder/CEO, Purlisse and YENSA
I believe in ENTITY's model. I've hired multiple women for Purlisse and YENSA and they have been high performers for us. I'm also a mentor for ENTITY Academy. I see ENTITY as a challenger to schools like FIDM (Fashion School of Design and Merchandising) and traditional universities that don't offer what ENTITY offers.
LESLIE WEISBERG
Founder, Perseev
We couldn’t have done it without ENTITY Academy, whose grads are universally hard-working, enthusiastic, and quick to learn/implement new skills. ENTITY Academy has gone above and beyond to identify and supply Perseev with a large talent pool whose work has made a meaningful difference in our capacity to scale our product.

Welcome, Danu and thank you to Jennifer Schwab for making the match.
