Confessions of a fashion intern: special skills

Mar 11, 2010

Clearly, because of my role as intern, I'm required to fulfill many less than glamourous tasks at the press office. Though they sometimes get repetitive, I think I'm finally getting the hang of my job here. Additionally, I've been acquiring some new skills and fine tuning those I already had.

Here's a list of jobs I could see myself suceeding in based on my fashion intern skill set:

  1. Personal assistant/Secretary- my amazing phone anwering skills. I believe I come off as quite perky and polite. I'm getting very good at organizing stuff too.
  2. Closet organizer- I can organize based on color, brand and season!
  3. Holiday gift wrapper- very often, I find myself wrapping samples in tissue. One of my coworkers even commented I was wrapping them "too nicely," but admitted that she thought the magazine would treat the samples better because of my wrapping skills.
  4. Delivery lady- though I don't know how to drive a motor bike, I'm getting a lot better at following directions and making deliveries on foot.
  5. Garbage collector- lifting heavy recycling bags...not fun, but very impressive.
  6. Demolition lady- I'm getting really good at breaking down boxes. Perhaps I could start destroying walls and stuff in the future?
  7. Creative tape ripper- don't have scissors handy? I know at least 2 other ways to rip packing tape!
  8. Personal shopper- though I've only gone to one of our stores once to pick out samples, it was quite fun. Only problem? It's like going shopping, but not getting to keep anything!

Ha ha, funny post. Seems like you're having fun at your internship :)
And about the tape ripper: I'm very good at using my teeth for that.
