Oh course, it would be way better if she (I assume it's a woman) gave work application tips but eh, we'll take what she gives us. All her advices are very sound and come straight from her experience as someone on the receiving end of applications. Sit back, read and... Continue reading

Intern blog: Overheard in the newsroom
Must-read/watch/buy is the kind of term which really annoys this London Fashion Intern. It's a bastard adjective which shouts "conspicuous consumption" and too often "procrastination". If you are a journalism intern working in a newsroom however, the crowd-sourced Overheard in the Newsroom ...

Intern Blog: My turn to spill the tea
Curly Hair, My turn to spill the tea... is a blog written by an anonymous fashion magazine intern. Even though she wants to "write a column in the Sunday Times Style magazine" rather than work in the industry and regularly points out her lack of familiarity with fashion, her daily...

Dear Rose and Effy,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment.
Rose - I think it can be hard to keep the bigger ending in mind, when it is so doubtful that things will pick up.
Effy - If all interns rebelled and refused to work unless they got paid, companies would have to do it. Unfortunately, I can't see any movement big enough to change things happening any time soon.
Thanks,
