Change of Plans

Hello everyone, exciting news today! I have been offered a new position and informal internship with Guess in San Diego. I will be working both as a sales associate and also assisting in many of the upcoming promotional projects within and outside of the store. Guess is known for its visual merchandising so being a part of that should be a great learning experience for me. I can’t wait!!  I hope you are all enjoying your vacations, exciting internships and new adventures! :)

Busy Bee

Hey Everyone,

After coming back from my short trip home to Florida, I’ll be presenting on my spring semester Kohl’s internship to our District Manager. A day later I’ll be packing up and heading out to Bentonville, Arkansas with Scott Rising, a fellow ambassador, for a second internship with Walmart Inc. I’ll let you all know how the presentation goes, and be sure to keep you updated during my internship!

Getting Ready

Hello everyone! This is Adena, TJL student ambassador getting ready to pack up my life here in Arizona, spend a relaxing weekend at home in California (beach break!), and then ship off to Chicago!  I begin work Monday, May 24th at The Store — WPP, which, after receiving my employment paperwork, found out is a small part of the huge advertising agency J. Walter Thompson.  I am so excited to begin my work at The Store and find out more about what my duties will be and get more of a feel for the company– all I know right now that they provide marketing, public relations, and consulting services to both domestic and international retailers.  While I sometimes feel there is an emphasis on store management, buying/planning, and merchandising in our Retailing and Consumer Sciences major, I am so eager to explore this sector of retailing business.

I reconnected with an old friend who has a condo in Chicago’s South Loop– only about a mile from my downtown office– and I am so excited to settle in and explore the city. I also have family north in the suburbs so I will have a little familiarity when I need it.  I am thrilled to be able to blog here about my experiences and am even more thrilled to find out what those experiences will be!! Until then, I’m wishing everyone good luck on their finals and safe travels to their respective locations!
