Why did you apply to work for us?
I applied for an internship at the boohoo group after really researching the job role and the brands. I decided to apply because it came across as a very exciting place to work with a lot of driven people. I also knew that I would learn a large amount of knowledge and skills from this internship.

What do you get up to in your role?
I carry out lots of research with my team to create packs for upcoming trends and I am constantly thinking of new and exciting ideas for designs. I then make specs of the designs consisting of measurements, cad drawings, instructions for the suppliers and fabric references. These are sent to suppliers who I liaise with to ensure our samples are as I envisioned and are made to a high standard. I also plan for prints, artwork and patterns.

I think boohoo is much more sociable and encourages networking more than other employers- we have social events fairly often and everyone is very friendly and approachable regardless of their job role/ level in work.
