My fieldwork done at Shop Etc. included many responsibilities. When I was hired I was told my responsibility was to assist the fashion assistant in whatever she would ask of me. As in most internships, I was given the job, along with the other two interns that I worked with, of bringing coffee to my boss every morning at 9 AM precisely, making photocopies, ordering lunch, and all those glamorous responsibilities. However, my experience as intern also provided me with more thrilling tasks, and great opportunities. As an intern at Shop Etc, I was in touch with many people throughout the day, some including, high-end designers, PR agencies, and very respectable magazine editors. I assisted at photo shoots and keeping the fashion closet organized. I was given the task of requesting and returning samples from designers and public relations agencies and organizing shoes, bags, jewelry, and hats for specific fashion stories. It was my responsibility, in midst of the fast paced and hectic environment, to control the trafficking of clothing samples from both designers and public relations agencies through keeping a record in the computer. When an editor put in a request for an item of clothing, many times, it was my job to locate that item no matter how tough it would be to find. There were occasions when I would be online for hours at a time looking for a shirt that hadn't hit the stores yet. When my boss, who was the assistant to the fashion editor, wanted to email a quick message to a client, it was my job to type the email. My position at Shop Etc. comprised of both exciting and tedious tasks giving me the experience of a lifetime.
