I worked in the Sears Apparel Offices in San
Francisco, CA. My internship was a Buyer Apprentice Internship where I worked
directly with a buying team within Sears Holdings. This Sears office building
was opened in 2004 and serves as the apparel buying offices for both Sears and
Kmart. I was assigned to specifically
intern with Sears Ready to Wear. There were found interns total, two with Kmart
and two with Sears. Working for the Sears Ready to Wear department I worked
with the Women’s Brand, Laura Scott. This was a 10 week program consisting of
training classes, apparel buying topic lessons, hands-on learning, job
shadowing and interviewing, daily tasks, and personal responsibilities within
the company.
This field study was a full time commitment and I worked
eight hours a day. Therefore, I was able to learn and experience a tremendous
amount of activates centered on apparel buying, marketing, finance, apparel
production, and other aspects of the business. My internship partnered me with
the Head Buyer for the Laura Scott label, along with the rest of the buying
team. On a daily basis I would work on my final project and complete tasks that
the buying team needed assistance with. I would also shadow the buying team and
accompany them in all of their meetings.
