End of week number 1

It’s the end of week number 1 at the magazine and we have been doing returns most of the week. Some of the other girls on placement have been on photo shoots but we are taking it in turns so I should get to go on one next week! It’s become clear that rarely will anyone talk to us about whats going on or introduce themselves, even if they ask you to do something for them. Sometimes it can feel frustrating or upsetting the way you may be treated, and continuous tidying and returning literally hundreds of clothes, but I understand the importance of work experience and I want to help out however I can. I know they are busy and I understand this is the way to achieve a job in the industry, to work hard and show you are willing to. I do believe it will pay off. Making the tea is the best way I have learnt to learn peoples names and have a quick few words even if it is ‘yes' or ‘no' answers. Making my face familiar and hopefully them remembering my willingness is important so if they need something they know they can rely on me and that I will work hard. It could even help them remember if I ever applied for a job there! You never know. Making tea may be a small simple thing but it can make a huge difference!
