Here is what our previous interns have had to say about their experiences at Affordable Style:
"I like to say my Affordable Style experience was unique. I was given the opportunity to manage and run my own promotional website--from the start I brought the site its very first traffic and worked to drive sales for the company. But my favorite part about Affordable Style was the atmosphere. I was in direct contact with the other interns, my boss, the CEO, and everyone in between and never felt uncomfortable to ask questions or voice my opinion. It’s a great place to work and I’m very thankful for all the friends I made and for the experience I had." – Jennifer, Summer 2009
"My internship at Affordable Style provided me hands-on experience to the ecommerce industry. I have a better understanding of how online marketing works. I had the opportunity to work on high impact projects that drove sales for our stores. If you are interested in online marketing, ecommerce, or retail, Affordable Style is a great place to get started!" – Megan, Summer 2009
"As a first-time intern, I’m pleased to say my experience at Affordable Style offered me a great atmosphere, valuable learning experience, and new, practical skills. Not only was I busy with my own assignments, but I was engaged in the business as a whole and consequently learned a lot about how an online company operates. You really feel like you’re part of a team, and everybody pitches in with ideas and helps out even without being asked. Best of all, the fashion industry is such a fun and diverse industry to be employed in. The combination of great people, fun work, and the opportunity to learn made my internship experience worthwhile!" – Lauren, Summer 2009
"The atmosphere here is great due to the small business setting with young and exciting individuals and a very casual dress code. The work you do is meaningful and you can actually see the impact of what you do instead of partaking in dull paper work or copying all day. Overall, this internship has been an excellent experience and the knowledge I gained has been invaluable." – Kyle, Summer 2009
"My intern experience at Affordable Style was really educational and offered gave me a great experience in all areas of internet marketing. Working at a small growing business gave me the opportunity to be hands-on with projects that I could tell made a difference in attracting visitors and converting those visitors into sales. The entire Affordable Style team was always extremely knowledgeable and helpful, offering me quick answers to any questions I had. Overall, this internship offered work that challenged me every day, kept me intrigued, and provided a solid base to pursue future endeavors in any form of marketing" – Ryan, Summer 2009
"Working for One Click as an intern is a great and rewarding experience. The projects you handle are unique and have a direct impact upon the business. As a business student, I was able to gain insights into the operations of an overall small business, which was highly important to me. At the same time, the focus of my internship allowed me to practice and hone skills that will be viable and necessary in any full-time position after graduation. Plus, no other internship would give me the chance to positively impact the financial performance of the business like this one did. Of course it’s always nice to work in a comfortable, small business culture where you get to wear jeans to work every day, too." – Dan, Summer 2009
