On Friday I was running around doing errands and blasting Coldplay. I heard my phone rang, picked it up thinking it would be one of my friends, and it was Kristen, the fashion assistant I had interviewed with at Elle! I was so embarassed because I didn't know who she was when she said "it's Kristen." She went on to inform me that they wanted me to intern this summer... and I had to politely inform them that I had already taken a job!
I was shocked because I thought I would have heard back from her sooner, and I didn't think that she liked me that much when I went to interview! So..
Lesson Learned: Always keep the company's you interview with in your cellphone book so when they call you, you aren't blasting music and therefore look like an idiot. And realize that while you might think an interview went awfully, it probably didn't. The assistants can't show too much interest when they interview you because they a) don't want to give you the wrong idea if they don't hire you and b) want to keep their options open. With that in mind... good luck with interviews over break!

Hey Ashley, I have a quick question. I just saw your blog on ed2010 and it looks very helpful. How did you go about securing an internship for the summer already? All of the postings for internships on ed2010 are for spring interns...
Any info you could share would be great.
Congratulations :]!
I have a phone interview with the Seventeen fashion department over break; so excited!
everyone is already interviewing for summer? I sent my resume to one place and they said to get back in touch in March when they start with summer interns..so i'm confused..
