Responsibilities

As a BTC Buying Intern for 7 For All Mankind, my main job responsibilities included pulling and analyzing weekly sales reports in preparation for department meetings. Formatting and updating seasonal product line sheets. Responsible for tracking and organizing sample collections. Maintained buying tools, entered markdowns, and prepared monthly product recaps.

Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment while interning for 7 For All Mankind was creating the Denim Digest for Fall 2018. This is sent out quarterly to call out key styles to the store teams and give them more information around new products landing for that particular season. Overall it was a very fun and rewarding project because my work was sent out to all stores around the United States to help them learn more about the products that will be landing in stores!

What advice would you give?

My advice for future students is to work hard n matter what you're doing. Even if it something small and unimportant still work hard. It will help build good work ethic and improve the activity you’re doing. People will notice the effort that you always put in and you will be cast in a good light.
