Primary job responsibilities;
Secretarial tasks (taking messages, organizing, filing, sending faxes, light bookkeeping, but mostly to observe clientele consultations, and to help clients search for fabrics, and to help with minute tasks here and there.
I would rate this experience as excellent because it was really interesting to see the socio-economic circumstances of different customers manifested in their interior design endeavors and choices. I would recommend this site to students because while it is a really small business, it is well run, efficiently organized , and fun to work/learn at.
I would have liked to try having my own consultation with a client but I know that without a degree in interior design that would have been difficult.
To future students I would definitely say to try an internship! Internships offer real world applications of classroom taught knowledge and skills. Seeing it all come together in a "real world" situation is rewarding an eye-opening.
