I hope if you're reading this then you will also share it with other girls who are interested in next summer's internship :o) We have had a great time so far, and since it's my day to blog, I want to update everyone on our busy week from last week.
Starting on Tuesday, we had the chance to visit Marie Claire (the magazine) because one of our interns is co-working with mark. and Marie Claire, but she is actually at MC's office. So after working most of the day, we got off a few hours early and walked over to the Hearst Building where most of the magazines are officed. It was a great experience because we got to see a presentation and hear from several employees from MC about their business and what they personally do!
Since I'm a marketing major at Texas Tech, and the marketing intern :o) this visit opened my eyes to new opportunitues and ideas as to what I might want to go into after I graduate!
Here are a few pictures from our visit:
This is our whole group of interns, plus Dawn and two of the "graduate" interns from last summer - we are in one of the conference rooms in the Hearst Building!
This is the Marie Claire floor!
We also got a tour of the whole building, and got to go to the Good Housekeeping Research floor - this is where people are actually paid to use products to see if they work how they claim to work. There was so many rooms of different people working - washing clothes, vaccuuming, cooking, testing objects, etc
After our "field trip" to Marie Claire on Tuessday, we then had the opportunity on Wednesday night to attend the CEW event after work. This is the Corporate Executive Women annual event, that is held by a panel of women who do various things throughout the year. This particular event was a live interview of Leslie Blodgett, the creator and CEO of Bare Escentuals. It was another great opportunity because before the interview, there was an hour designated just for networking among hundreds of individuals, particularly women :o)
Here are a few pictures of Wednesday:
During the day, we surprised Hannah P. (1 of 3!) for her 20th birthday! These cupcakes were ordered from Crumbs (if you ever get the chance to eat here, do it!)
This is after work at the CEW event. After the mingling/networking hour, we went up to a bigger room and watched the interview of Leslie...the woman on the right of the stage
Some of us sitting at the event! From the left, there is Ashley S., Hanna T., Kristiauna, me, and Lauren (another "graduate" intern who is at Kaplow working with mark.)
A close up of Leslie!
Once Thursday came, I couldn't believe how fast the week had flown by! We were actually supposed to meet Lauren Conrad on this day, but because of her schedule and book signings, it got moved until Friday morning.
So Friday, we got to work at normal time, then at 11 we left to walk to Lauren's studio that she was doing live interviews at.
Here is a picture of us and Lauren:
And these pictures are of once we were back in the office, we had to help PR open hundreds of hook-ups for the Brit Bardo event this week...so I had fun with my new camera
I hope everyone feels filled in with how our time here is going! I know that for me it had flown by :o( This week should also be another pretty busy week, so hopefully more pictures will be up soon!
Let us know if anyone has any questions and we'll love to talk about our experiences here
Love from the mark. office,
Taylor and the rest of the 2009 interns
