Media Internship Advice: How Not to Intern at ELLE Magazine
You’ve seen the movie “The Devil Wears Prada,” right? Well my internship at ELLE Magazine was just like that — except that I was the devil but everyone else wore Prada. Let my experience be a tutorial in How Not To Be An Intern.
My tenure at ELLE Magazine was my very first college internship. I had known since I was 10 years old that I wanted to be a Fashion Journalist: magazine writer, author and a TV host but I did not yet know what format that would take. As an adult that has blessedly translated into Love Journalist: blogger, author, TV personality and web series host but that was still in the future. I was invited to intern at ELLE upon recommendation from a woman who had been my summer counselor when I was 12.

I was with ELLE Magazine for one semester, and when I look back now I can imagine that I was the intern from hell, “too good to Xerox,” wearing a vintage green pantsuit, Chanel Very Vamp lipstick, and looking for my own office.
