The Role
It was really fun! Although we didn't have the most riveting job in the world, I still just enjoyed working in the magazine environment - and I was surrounded by clothes all day!!
All of the staff were friendly.
It wasn't really needed...there are 4 interns at a time working and so you all help each other out.
Some days were busier than others but I never felt stressed.
You don't get much responsibility however they do offer you chances so if they ask you to do something I would say jump at the opportunity to do it to show your initiative!
Interning at Look gave me the confidence I needed to start seeking out more work placements!
The Company
It was a lovely, relaxed and exciting environment all at the same time!
I would happily work with IPC media!
The Culture
All of the other interns were very friendly.
It was expensive travel as I was commuting from outside of London - but they did pay back half of my travel expenses which I thought was very fair.
