I went into the position expecting my responsibilities and activities to occur as my notebook outlined them. This was not the case. In the first three weeks, I was shuffled between three different Sales Managers and three different departments. I was so busy helping these managers out that I did not complete my first project until the end of the second week. The retail world is chaotic and my manager and I could spend hours putting away the dump or listening to disgruntled customers. Sales associates soon called on me for advice (they thought of me as a manager) and I quickly learned to act fast with what little experience I had. The buying office was a little more organized, but once again the structure that I expected was not there. I helped out with whatever needed to be done, whether tracking daily sales or answering the questions of store employees. Every time I interviewed an employee, I asked them to describe their typical day. They would start off everyday with a to-do list, but interruptions always arise. They learned to prioritize and to do as much as they could. My internship was the same. I had a to-do list of projects for each week and I accomplished, them, but I did much more than a notebook could ever prepare me for. I expected my management internship to be fun, interesting, and valuable. I did not expect to get as much out of it as I did. I had the unique opportunity to see this company from every aspect. I spent much time interviewing and shadowing practically every position in the Tacoma store. I saw the Sales Associates perspective vs. the Store Managers perspective. I listened to the complaints from the Sales Manager and then saw the problems prompting those complaints in the buying offices. After graduation, I want to work as a consultant and I chose to make this internship into a consulting project. I was an outsider who listened and watched. At the end of my internship, myself and 9W ! 3 N O P Q S a & ) + n o  ' I Y  & B D F 0 L x ķ hm5CJhmh, *h:hm h!5CJ h8VCJ hm5CJh^Qh!5CJ h!CJ h;5CJ hmCJ h,CJ h;CJ h;CJ h;CJ?9:Q R S n o H I  D v x  Xgd 0gdmgdm   !&'GUVW^msC"VZx'4St¼ڙ¼ h^Q5CJ h^QCJ h OCJ h;5CJh;h, *h:h; h!CJ h;CJ h;5CJ hh5CJhmh 05CJ h 0CJ h 05CJ h,5CJhmhm5CJ hm5CJ7XYCqXZVXpr$a$gdz & F ^`gd,gd 0(1NRZde$.02VXpr# %455v6w6̾}ywyUh,h,5>*CJ\ h;6] h;5\h;5>*CJ\h;h;B*ph h:CJ hzCJ hz5CJ h 05CJ h8V5CJ h O5CJ h^Q5CJ h,5CJ h;5CJ h OCJ h;CJ h^QCJ h8VCJ.?d`#>l$>a  & F h & F h & F0`0 0`0 & F0`0 \1j'V##44w6y6 & F  "^`"three other interns gave a presentation to 10-12 corporate employees, addressing all of these problems. Most employees only get to experience a few roles; I was luck y enough to see them all. Overall, I discovered that retail is fun, but I will probably not make a lifelong career out of it. But I did learn so much more than the roles of a Sales Manager and a Buyer. I saw the problems that can occur within any major company, whether it focuses on retail or not. At many times, I was the leader and at others I was follower. Most importantly, I learned that an internship can be as valuable and interesting as you make it.     w6x6z6{6}6~66666 h;CJhL/jhL/U y6z6|6}6666666 (/ =!8"8#$% s02 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@ 0@_HmH nH sH tH <`< NormalCJ_HmH sH tH B@B  Heading 1$$@&a$5CJB@B  Heading 2$$@&a$5CJ<@<  Heading 3$@&5CJDA D Default Paragraph FontViV  Table Normal :V 44 la (k (No List 44 Header  !4 4 0Footer  !2B@2 Body TextCJ2/!2 z0 Footer CharCJH2H : Balloon TextCJOJQJ^JaJN/AN :Balloon Text CharCJOJQJ^JaJPK![Content_Types].xmlN0EH-J@%ǎǢ|ș$زULTB l,3;rØJB+$G]7O٭Vc:E3v@P~Ds |w< <  w66X y66@ @H 0(  0(  B S  ?<%<%<% <%<%8 8 ? ? 9*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsplace8*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsCity>*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags PersonName ( d *2=D9W!NNOP)+!IQ!!GUWBBCCppqq""'4pt      ( d qr9W!NNOP)+!IQ!!GUWBBCCppqq""'4pt      ( d qrPXEZH $&~=V\^MeZ\,d<f~Zh ^`OJQJo(vh ^`OJQJo(oh pp^p`OJQJo(h @ @ ^@ `OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(oh ^`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(oh PP^P`OJQJo(0^`0o(.h ^`OJQJo(vh ^`OJQJo(oh pp^p`OJQJo(h @ @ ^@ `OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(oh ^`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(oh PP^P`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(vh ^`OJQJo(oh pp^p`OJQJo(h @ @ ^@ `OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(oh ^`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(oh PP^P`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(vh ^`OJQJo(oh pp^p`OJQJo(h @ @ ^@ `OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(oh ^`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(h ^`OJQJo(oh PP^P`OJQJo(^`o(.^`.pLp^p`L.@ @ ^@ `.^`.L^`L.^`.^`.PLP^P`L.EZH$&eZ\=Vf                                             ,M"^QDXm: O;Z)3 0EL/h8VO=z!:@Z Z Z Z d t@ @$@,@h@UnknownG.[x Times New Roman5Symbol3. .Cx Arial9. .
