Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment during my internship is creating. inventory system of the Decor Store. During my time at Everlasting Details I was tasked to create a running inventory list for everything that we keep in the Decor Store. The Decor Store is a 24' x 20' -3" room where the owner keeps all of her decor, china, and linens that she has accumulated over the year. I took each piece cleaned, photographed, and measured it then put all of that information into a Google Sheets document to keep track if everything she has.

Learning experience

I learned so much working for Everlasting Details. The most important lesson that I've learned is how to be flexible. I tend to thrive with structure, however within my internship I have learned how important it is to be flexible. Especially, when it comes to your boss, co-workers, and clients.

What advice would you give?

Don't be afraid to jump into your internship. Although they can be very nerve racking, you'll learn so much and grow not only professionally but personally as well.
