Looking for a 6-month paid internship from January on.

Hi, I'm Penda,
A French student currently in my first year of a master's degree in Public Relations and Digital Marketing in a French Business School renowned for its strategic position on innovation (Grenoble École de Management – Ranked in the top 6 French Business School). I am a J-1 Visa Candidate, therefore i will not require visa sponsorship.

I currently work as a Digital Marketing Intern (for a 6-month period) in the headquarters of the prestigious Department Store Galeries Lafayette. My missions are polyvalent and very enriching: in a fast-paced environment, I am performing social media management, numerous community management related-tasks (benchmarks, studies, competitor monitoring). I am also in daily contact with Beauty Brands: I am in charge of their social medias campaign on the Galeries Lafayette communications’ mediums. A great part of my job is also event and project management.

I previously worked as a Marketing intern at BBDO Paris, an advertising agency based in Paris for 3 months. I had several tasks and the polyvalence of the intern position enabled me to work in Sales & Marketing (with a designated Salesman) but also in Communication as I was helping designing the communication strategy of each brand (Gillette, L’Oréal). My first area of interest definitely is fashion, luxury & cosmetics but I have also a keen interest in entertainment, communications, and events.
French is my mother tongue and I am fluent both in English and German.
Working for these companies confirmed my wish to work in a function where I can provide my knowledge, my ability to coordinate projects and my aspiration to always deliver quality work.
Fashion is my first area of interest (I read about it a lot, mostly online via « the Business of fashion » to which I am a faithful subscriber and also following the latest fashion brands & trends on Instagram).
I have a strong brands knowledge and I’m always looking for new ones (among my favourites: Balanciaga, Off White, Chanel, AMI, Officine Générale, Louis Vuitton): the products & the clothes are so interesting and the designers behind it so inspiring. Furthermore, these last few weeks I had the opportunity to work for the Paris Fashion Week and to expand my knowledge on the upcoming trends.

I can describe myself as passionate, creative, goal-oriented, hard-worker with a can-do attitude and with boundless enthusiasm for IT, minimalist Fashion and the beauty industry. I have a great ability to multitask and good organizational and follow-through skills, excellent communication skills and am able to relate to all types of personalities. Moreover, I do work well independently within teams.
I would be available from the January the 1st.(for a 6-month period or more).

I am really looking forward to hearing from you. 
Best regards Penda WADE
