Merchandise Buyer

June - August 2019 • Columbus, OH

What I liked

The indepth experiences I had and the amount of freedom I decided to choose! It was only my supervsior and I, so I got to tag along with meetings, assortment edits, and really had the oppurtunity to speak my opinion with the upcoming products, which was so exciting!

What I wish was different

I wish I had a more open mind about this oppurtunity.

Advice

BE CONFIDENT! And ask questions! Nobody will think less of you when you want help!

November 2017 • Monroe, OH

What I liked

I loved working with such an amazing team! Everyone that worked there was easy to work with and were very understanding of personal issues in my life and made my hours extremely flexible most of the time. Time always flew while working there because the girls and I had lots of fun while effectively working.

What I wish was different

There were a few occasions in which I wish they didn't give me 14 hour days (but I was also working at two locations).

Advice

Make sure you love the team you work with since you'll spend a lot of time with them!

What I liked

LOFT takes care of their associates, which was so nice. They give lovely discounts and regular (annual) wage increases.

What I wish was different

The post-summer rush was very slow, so I wish there had been more foot traffic. I also wish that LOFT trained associates to find a style that they love and that would help them make suggestions to guests who ask for fashion advice.

What I liked

Learned some leadership skills. Retail really humbled me.

What I wish was different

The clientele in San Francisco. Yikes.

Advice

Good to figure out what you want to do before you graduate. But it’s not the end of the world if you have to find whatever job is available on the market for a bit to pay the bills.

Sales associate

May 2019 • Columbia, MD

What I liked

Flexible hours, nice staff, good job training

What I wish was different

Choice of working in a different section of the store

Advice

Have register experience! Prior sales experience helps a lot. Know what sales are happening throughout the week and have the return policy and others memorized prior to starting (they give you a pamphlet with all that info.) - just helps you understand the job in the long run and shows you're prepared.

Fashion Design Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I was able to design hands-on for Lane Bryant. Not only was I able to design actual capsule collections, but I was also able to work with cross-functional teams as well to see the collections all the way through. The internship program was so beneficial and a great way to network.

What I wish was different

I wish the program was more connected with other interns. Since I was the only intern at the Lane Bryant Design office I wasn't able to connect with the other interns in the Columbus office as much.
