Internship Essay

Internship at Marie Claire

“The expert in anything was once a beginner” Helen Hayes. I couldn’t agree more with

this quote one must learn to work from the bottom up and an internship is a perfect way to start.

An internship is a great opportunity for undergraduate college students to gain real world

experience in a particular field or industry. Internships are useful to interns themselves as they

offer the chance to find out what working for a particular company is really like. Not only do

internships help students get the real life job experience but it’s a great chance to network and

make contacts with managers and recruiters.

According to a 2012 study showed that students who interned earned about 15% more

than those who did not intern. “One University study showed that on average, only 30% of

graduating seniors have job offers prior to graduation, whereas this number rises to 58% for

students who have completed internships.” College of Business article. “While students are still

in college, internships can help them develop immediate skills that can improve course

performance, such as better time management, better communication skills, better self-discipline,

heightened initiative, and an overall better self-concept (Dennis, 1996: Healy & Mourton, 1987;

Kane, Healy, & Henson, 1992; Taylor, 1988). Theoretically, this should produce more

confidence and less anxiety in the student as well as enhance specific academic skills.” Finding

an internship or a job for seniors graduating in 2015 will have the easiest time finding jobs or

internships compared to the class of 2000 and 2009. This is due to the economic growth bringing

more jobs and services to market. As the economy continues to grow, college graduates will be

the first in line to be snapped up as highly qualified candidates in most entry-level positions.

Among college graduates, those majoring in science, technology, engineering and math, or the

highly sought after business disciplines, such as finance and accounting, are likely to be hired

quickly, as they have in the last couple of years.

Fashion careers can be hard to break into, but interning provides an opportunity to apply

skills in a business setting, learn more about the work environment they prefer and make

valuable professional connections. Nearly six in ten advertising and fashion marketing

executives interviewed said their agency or firm does not offer an internship program. Students

who do manage to land coveted internships may receive more than just experience: Among

companies that offer internships, 63 percent provide compensation. The national survey was

developed by HL Group, a specialized staffing service for interactive, design, fashion marketing,

advertising and public relations professionals, and conducted by an independent research firm.

Fashion advertising and fashion marketing executives were asked, "Which of the following best

describes your company's internship program?" Fifty-eight percent of respondents said their

company(does("not(have(an(internship(program."(Competing for fashion internships can be

challenging because many of the candidates are students and haven't yet acquired the skills, work

samples and experience that will make them stand out. Often, the decision comes down to how

the applicant presents him or herself. A positive disposition can go a long way in the fashion

industry.

Marie Claire was first published in France in 1937, various editions are published in

many countries and languages. The United States edition focuses on women around the world

and several global issues. Marie Claire magazine also covers health, beauty, and fashion. The

U.S. edition of the magazine was started by the Hearst Corporation based in New York City in

1994. Marie Claire is known as a fashion magazine with character, for women with a point of

view an opinion and sense of humor. They offer internships year round (fall, winter, spring and

summer) I am lucky enough to be part of their fall team. I will be working with fashion editor,

Zanna Rassi and her two assistants Natalie and Kate. I expect to gain real work experience,

network and learn as much as I can. As an intern, I will probably be doing a lot of runs,

organizing the fashion closet but as Helen Hayes once said “The expert in anything was once a

beginner.”

! To whom it may concern: Sandra Almanza served as an intern to senior fashion editor, Zanna Rassi. I had the opportunity to get to know her during this fall quarter, and I can recommend her as a hardworking bright young lady who takes her responsibilities seriously and does her job well. Sandra has worked with us for a total of 360 hours for the fall semester. I am sure she will be a good and hard working employee and commend her for whatever position she is seeking. Sincerely, Kate Longarzo Assistant to Zanna Roberts Rassi Marie Claire, Senior Fashion Editor E! News Correspondent 300 W 57th Street New York, NY 10019 859-608-8948
