CEO For The Day

After working ten weeks at Marie Claire Magazine and finishing up my summer internship, I definitely would say that the way Marie Claire is run is efficient and well organized. However, there are a few things I would love to change about the organization. One of the first things I would change if I became the CEO of Marie Claire Magazine for a day is I would pay the interns. With the long hours we were forced to work as interns five days a week, sometimes double the hours the editors even worked, we definitely should have been paid at least minimum wage to reward us for our hard work and long hours put in throughout the entire internship. Also, if I were to change the running of this organization I would make sure the interns all got to meet with an editor for 15-20 minutes to open the door to a connection with them. Although the editors always mentioned their doors were open to talk, they were constantly busy doing tasks or not in the office. I feel like it would have been extremely beneficial to even allow the interns to be able to email the editors with questions but this was not allowed. Overall though, I think the way Marie Claire Magazine is set up and run is adequate the way that it is.
