And although I am lucky enough to go to school in Canada's fashion capital, speaking French is the only way to land one in Montreal&amp;amp;#xE2;&amp;amp;#xBF;&amp;amp;#xBF; let's just say my French leaves something to be desired! So when I decided that this was something I wanted to spend my summer doing, I had no idea how to start.\n\nThe ultimate goal was Teen Vogue: my favorite magazine for as long as I can remember. After exhaustive searches for postings online, I decided to contact Eva Chen in hopes of setting up an informational interview. When I came to meet her in March (only the second time I'd ever been in New York), I was in awe of the Cond&amp;amp;#xC3;&amp;amp;#xA9; Nast building. Fiddling with my Marc by Marc Jacobs necklace as I rode the elevator up to the 9th floor, I couldn't help but notice the number of fantastic magazines that lit up along the way.\n\nEva was so nice and so helpful, and even though she didn't have an intern position open at the time, she answered all my questions and gave me her card so that I could be in touch for future opportunities.\n\nAfter that whirlwind weekend in New York City, I put the internship in the back of my mind and returned to begin studying for my finals&amp;amp;#xE2;&amp;amp;#xBF;&amp;amp;#xBF;so imagine my surprise when about two weeks later, Maura, the Beauty &amp;amp; Health Assistant, contacted me. She told me that their current intern had left and asked if I would be interested in a temporary position in their department! I couldn't believe it! Of course I accepted right away and found a way to get an intern visa and an apartment in New York in under a month.\n\nMy duties at Teen Vogue include updating the PR contact sheet with different beauty and fashion contacts, searching online for new beauty products to blog about or possibly include in an upcoming issue, researching articles for specific beauty and health feature topics and my personal favorite -- organizing the beauty closet!\n\nI would say for anyone who would like to apply for a Teen Vogue (or any other magazine) internship that the key is to be persistent and to be patient. Also, make sure to show anyone that you meet with how much you appreciate their taking the time to meet with you -- make sure to send an email with a little thank you! If this is something you are serious about then pursue all possible avenues, make contacts and keep in touch with the editors you meet!\n\nI'll post again as soon as I can&amp;amp;#xE2;&amp;amp;#xBF;&amp;amp;#xBF;and I'm happy to answer any questions!\n\n x"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
