Plank

Throughout the past month, I have been interning at Plank. My mentor, Doreen Hing, has taught me so much. Throughout my internship at Plank, I have learned so much about the field of fashion--more specifically, fashion merchandising. On the first day of work, I didn't know what to expect. But as I arrived, I was welcomed warmly and was also given my very own office in which I was to work in. From ten in the morning to five in the afternoon, the nonstop work truly payed off. I really enjoyed my internship at Plank, because I learned so much about the fashion industry. It gave me a whole new perspective about the industry, and was very inspirational. Because of this internship at Plank, I have more of an idea of what I want to go into, career-wise. This internship for sure encouraged me to pursue my career goals in the fashion industry. Even though Plank was mainly based on high-end accessories such as bags and yoga mat, which is not my ideal interest in the world of fashion, it didn't affect my learning during my internship at Plank. I mainly worked on product placement, promoting the products of Plank as the best in the marketing category. I also got a chance to take a peek into the PR industry when Plank was interviewing different PR companies. We [Plank] managed to land a really nice PR company called Succarra PR. Overall, my internship at Plank is definitely one to remember.
