Unfortunately we could not convince this graduate to write about her Sydney Fashion Internship, but it is such a good position that we have found her that we decided to let all you budding retail fashion students/ graduates know about the internship. We will keep her name out of the article to respect her wishes.

She Applied in September to start her Fashion Retail internship in Sydney, Australia in October/ November. She has studied at London College of Fashion and then at University College London.

So what was she looking to get out of this fashion retail internship in Sydney? She has a good CV, with experience in fashion design combined with some very good university work. She is looking to get some better fashion retail experience on her CV and when she applied said:

“I have an intense passion for Fashion and I am determined to pursue a career in Fashion Retail”

The placement we have lined up for her will definitely give her this experience. A Sydney based design company that started in 2003 and has taken the Australian fashion scene by storm after their launch at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week which saw them attract celebrity fans including Rose Byrne, Jennifer Hawkins, Miranda Kerr and Nicky Hilton.

She has a phone interview next week to speak with the Sydney based fashion design company. This is an opportunity for her to talk through what kind of work she would like to and what experience she would like to get on her CV.

From there Intern Options will put the internship details into a formal contract for her, which the employer has signed and we will then help her through the visa application, looking at accommodation, flights, insurance and set her up an Australian bank account.
