Womans Day Week 1

I recently wrapped up my first week working for WomansDay.com. Working for a magazine is the final thing in college I wanted to do before I graduate. It's exciting to know that within my first week I can already say I've been published. You can read my articles every day as part of the Woman's Day Daily Buzz blog. The articles listed below are what I've written this week.

Internships 101 with Seventeen Magazine

I am going to make a more conscious effort to update my blog at least once a week. It can be really hard to do when you're juggling a full schedule of classes as well as an internship but I will do my best. As for what I've been up to...

                             

This past weekend I attended Internships 101, an event hosted by Seventeen Magazine. It was held at the Hearst building where Seventeen resides in New York. Even though I rsvp'd for the event, it was still first come first served which meant there was a chance I wouldn't get in. My plan was to get there by at least 11 a.m. since it started at 1 p.m. My slow behind never made it there until around 12:20 p.m. When I got there the line was ridiculous but I had a good feeling I would make it in. 20 minutes later the line became even longer and wrapped around the building. I later found out they were only taking 150 people. Luckily I was one of those 150.

                          

We were escorted (with cameras following us...yikes!) upstairs to a conference room. Actually it felt more like a cinema. There we met Ann Shoket, the editor-in-chief of Seventeen Magazine. She hosted the beginning of the event and gave some great advice about acing the internship interview. Next we met Howard Grier, the Associate Publisher of Marketing at Seventeen. He gave great advice about how to construct a resume and cover letter to catch the eye of employers. I got to talk to him after the presentation and he helped me polish up my resume. The presentation also featured a mini fashion show by the Seventeen Style Pros of some of the things you can wear to various jobs regardless of whether it's in the fashion industry or just a normal office setting. Some other amazing people that shared a few words were Amy Levin, Founder of Collegefashionista.com and Lauren Berger, Founder of Intern Queen.

                               

After the panel we got to talk to some of the speakers as well as enjoy a few snacks. I browsed some of the clothing options because I still need to figure out what I'm wearing to Teen Vogue Fashion University. I also met an alumni who works there in sales (can you say connection?!). I even made some new friends who seem to be geared toward the same path as me.

                                             

Overall the event was amazing. I was interviewed by Seventeen following the event so hopefully I end up on the website. I would definitely go again if they do it next year. It's a great way to network. I even walked away with a goodie bag and won a prize filled with internship essentials.
