Everything You Wanted to Know about Internships but Were Afraid to Ask

Now that summer has rolled around fashionistas around the world are fighting off boredom and obtaining valulable experience in the industry through the help of summer internships. After spending my first year away from home in college I wasn't quite ready to dive into an entire summer alone in the big city. So, I searched and emailed every fashion related workplace in 30 mile radius to see if anyone needed an intern.

Finally, I found the perfect place; a modeling management center! So far, I've learned an enormous amount from my mentors. I've been styling shoots, building comp cards, and even become a model scout for them! Of course their are some not-so-glamorous jobs like organizing the office supplies and fielding phone calls but it's all part of the experience. I've only been there for a few weeks and I'm excited to see what the summer will unfold. I highly reccomend interning- it's a good test-drive for a future career path & offers some great learning and networking opportunities!
