Hello ASOS Lifers!
I may have spoken to a couple of you here on ASOSLife from my previous screen name of JanesAddiction (addiction is the only way I can describe my compulsive hourly click on the 'What's New' section of the ASOS homepage!) But I am now writing to you from my new desk, under my new name, as an ASOS Intern!
It all started when I noticed that the ASOS staff loved ASOSLife as much as the rest of us. I knew that my dream job would be working at ASOS, and my goal was to get in to buying as it was always something I was interested in and hoped I'd be good at. So, through ASOSLife, I asked the buyers to bestow some advice on all of us wannabe's. The girls here were really good and replied almost straight away with some tips and hints, and especially told me to get some specific industry experience. Luckily for me, some short weeks later there was a vacancy on the site for work experience as a Buyers Admin Assistant. So here I am!
My first day I felt a lot like a kid in a very stylish candy shop! I got to have a good look around ASOS towers, and as an added bonus I got a sneaky peak of the male models doing a shoot! The office is a hive of activity and when I got to see my desk for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised to find it surrounded by rails and boxes of new season goodies, so I quickly settled in to my role helping the girls on the Branded Womenswear department. The atmosphere here is very upbeat, and everyone is dressed beautifully, so this morning I ordered the ASOS Zip Through Frill Front dress and I am hoping to wear it from my desk to the pub on Friday
It's now my third week and I love it here. There are always new samples coming in to "oooh" and "aaah" over, so today I am lusting over the Mango Studded Leather Jacket that I just prepared for the shoot team, so keep your eyes peeled for that beauty onsite soon!
For the rest of my time here I will keep you guys posted – if there's anything you want to know or would like to see, let me know and I'll see who I can bribe!
I'll be back with more ASOS gossip soon
Jane xx
