The magazine has been inspiring me since its first issue, and this wasn't an opportunity I could pass up. I sent my resume to Fashion Assistant and Credit Editor Truc Nguyen, and she emailed me a few days later to offer me the position!\n\nOn my first day at the job in the fashion closet I sorted out all the Fashion Week invitations that the editors had received and helped Truc make their show schedules for that week. The four months that I spent in the fashion closet consisted of making requests of clothing and accessories samples for photo shoots, making inspiration boards, and organizing the clothing for the editors and stylists to see. Interning in the fashion department has taught me that every little task counts, from pasting runway looks to a board to assisting at photo shoots.\n\nAfter interning in the fashion department I applied for an intern position in the production department for the summer, because I have always been curious about the process of how the magazine is actually made. I sent my resume to production director Nicole Stuart and got an interview with her. During the interview I told her that I was part of the production department for my high school newspaper and that I knew how to use Photoshop, In Design, and Illustrator.\n\nWhen Nicole told me that I got the internship I was excited to start fresh in a new department and learn new things. On my first day in production I got to make boards of the most current layout of the magazine for all the Teen Vogue editors to review.\n\nFor anyone applying to intern at Teen Vogue I would recommend that you send your resume in advance from the time that you want to intern because, just like everything else in the magazine business, we work ahead of time!\n\nPhoto: Steve George"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
