Summarize the following:
Prepare yourself by researching potential questions and writing down your answers. Ask your friends or family to test you with these questions by creating a mock interviewer. Much like an exam or presentation for school, you will be less likely to fumble on your words or be nervous if you have rehearsed and studied. For example, if you are applying to a magazine the employer may ask something like, “What was your favourite article of last month’s issue and why? What section do you think you can contribute to this month?” Be prepared to go through scenarios of how you can immediately contribute to the position as well as long term. Employers are not just looking for your individual talent but also how it fits with their brand. Be passionate about the job you are applying for and the company that you are hoping to join. Employers do not want to add individuals who do not have the company's best interest in mind. Get your foot in the door by being open to a variety of positions. If you are passionate about the fashion industry, you will be able to work yourself into the position that you truly want. Be flexible with job offers as you may not see the potential that your employer does. She may see your tenacity and fashion sense eventually moving you up within the company but that you obviously lack the immediate technical skills the employer needs. Internships may be unpaid but garner you valuable experience and a chance to expand your network. Work hard and keep a positive attitude. Internships may lead to full-time employment if your employer sees you as a valuable asset. You must be reliable and treat yourself as an indispensable member of the team.
Research the company and the interviewer or interviewers. Keep a passionate but open mind. Accept an intern position.
