INTERNING WEEK ONE

So my first week is over and I have loved every minute of the whole experience. I'm not going to lie, as an intern you are expected to do a ridiculous amount but I guess I'd rather be busy than have nothing to do! 

I've learnt an awful lot about the way a magazine publication is run and also the roles of everyone within the Look team and it is definitely an environment I aspire to work in. 

This week we have been doing several tasks and preparation for upcoming fashion shoots for magazine issues in the near future.

[THE FASHION CUPBOARD]

Some of the intern responsibilities include:

- Incoming Samples (Checking each parcel in and write incoming dockets for them, hang them on the appropriate shoot rail and file incoming paperwork.)

- Return Samples (Sending samples back to the relevant press offices through the use of FashionMonitor - an online contact website for all PR companies and addresses - and again write dockets, package them up ready to be sent and place them in the returns bin.)

- Fashion Shoot Prep (Assigned a specific shoot in assistance to one of the stylists and organising all of the incoming samples ready for the shoot with labels and keeping all samples together.)

- Writing Credits (Writing all of the credits for the magazine for the fashion shoot samples used with appropriate prices which have been obtained from the relevant press offices.)

- Email (Answering all emails and making sure all urgent sample requests are dealt with and taken to the post room for collection.)

- Answering Telephone (Taking calls regarding sample call backs and also contacting reception to ensure models are brought up for castings efficiently.)

- TapToBuys (Researching all garments used and find the links for them on their website, using an affiliate website to get the deep link to be used on the online edition of the magazine.)

- Suitcase (Packing and unpacking suitcases which are being used for shoot days.)

- Assisting Shoots (Going on fashion shoots to assist the stylist with dressing models and setting up clothes.)

So it's been a pretty manic week but I've definitely learnt a lot and I'm excited for the next few weeks to come! 

I'll keep you updated!
