The area of specialty that you mention (designing dresses, tops, and bottoms for the junior market) is a perfect example of the specificity an interviewer will be looking for in every response that you offer. This is great! Try giving that same detail in the first half of your response. For instance, exactly which skills do you want to acquire, and what type of team do you want to lead?
