Thursday Marked the half way point (5 weeks, 8 hours that day and 75 hours total)

the day was more full of what I would call busy work than I would have liked but in a way someone has to do it in order for the company to run as smoothly and efficiently as it needs to.

I sat down with my supervisors Kate and Debra and filled out my Learning agreement. We bounced different ideas back and forth of how i could get the best and more varied experience possible. We ended up deciding to engage me in different activities having to do with Design, Business and Marketing or Promoting the Product.

Design: Sketches, and I am going to present to them and Jenny most likely a collection of Bridal and BMs designs at the end of the internship.

Business: Sales and Fittings and observing/ helping out with appointments.

Promotions/Marketing: Photoshoots and looking at magazines etc... that showcase JY designs.
(Also researching different methods of ad. and different venues for photoshoots.)

I entered data into an excel file on the computer, I completed or almost completed several swatch orders including a huge order to our Showroom in Chicago. I also reorganized the showroom, straightened up the dresses, placed them in their proper places by fabric and then arranged them by color. Restocked the bags for NY pickups and created new Tailor Cards which we give to our clients when they pick up their dresses in case they need to have their dress tailored.

That is about the extent of my Thursday. Not as exciting as I would have liked but all good things to do to preserve order in a company.
