For the last six months, I have had the pleasure of being part of the G-Star RAW family. As an intern for the webshop photography team, I have gathered a lot of information on what it is like to work in the e-commerce field.
As part of my first impressions, when I began my internship back in February, I must admit that it was challenging at first to get a grasp of all the information that I encountered. Not only was I facing a new territory, but also I was meeting a lot of people from all kinds of domains, all working under the same roof. But, as time has passed, I have learnt more and more about my position, I improved my skills, I met very nice people that were willing to help me with any issues that I encountered and I also gained practical experience in the field of corporate communication.
Now, being so close to the end, I will definetely miss this experience and the people I have worked together with. For any interns thinking of applying for G-Star RAW, I would recommend this internship! If you have a passion for retail and webshop photography, if you are interested to learn about e-commerce and be part of one of the leading retail companies in the Netherlands, then you found your place. Overall, doing an internship at any company is in my opinion a must. This experience will prepare you for the job market and expand your network and opportunities in regards of what you want to do after finishing your studies.
