Our Internships
Our internships are available to college students working on degrees in apparel merchandising, apparel design, textile, and business. We strive for interns to learn about apparel and jewelry merchandising, marketing, sales and buying with hands-on retail experience.
Meet Carrington, our Rosemary Beach Intern!
Q: For the readers, where do you attend college and what is your major?
A: I will be a senior this fall majoring in Apparel Merchandising with minors in Spanish and Business at Auburn University!
Q: Where did you grow up?
A: I grew up in Athens, Alabama
Q: Have you ever been to Rosemary Beach before?
How have you liked living here so far?
A: My family has vacationed here for years, I have great memories here visiting with friends and family! It feels very sentimental to live here now, I have loved every minute of being able to intern here!
Q: What has been your most fun job in the past?
A: A few summers ago I worked as a UCA Staff Instructor. I had the opportunity to travel all over Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi teaching cheerleading camps for middle and high school aged girls! I was definitely outside of my comfort zone, but it was one of the best experiences I have ever had being able to mentor and have fun with so many new people.
Q: Is there any specific project you have liked so far while working at ExVoto?
A: Recently we have worked with Gabby, the Merchandise Coordinator for the Rosemary Beach store, on re-merchandising the store. I have loved this project because I am especially interested in merchandising and how it affects consumer behavior while shopping.
Q: Each intern is gifted a piece of ExVoto jewelry.
Which item did you choose and why?
A: Of course I was extremely excited to receive a piece of jewelry from ExVoto, I chose the Zoe pearl necklace so I could have it engraved and always remember my summer as ExVoto’s intern! I also love the dainty freshwater pearls used on the necklace.
Q: What are your favorite ExVoto jewelry pieces from the new Summer collection?
A: I have to say my favorite piece we have is an exclusive to our Rosemary Beach location, the Bone Beach Treasure Necklace with the French Coin Pendant! I love how the collection resembles a coastal look while still looking natural enough to wear everyday.
Q: What are your favorite apparel pieces from ExVoto for this season?
A: I find myself always gravitating to styles from Mille,V De Vinster, and Las Sureñas. I love the Mille Sadie Caftan in the exclusive ExVoto Avignon floral print and the Oceane Dress in Multi Vinchy by V De Vinster! Also the Huma Blanco Milla Mules in Magenta Jute are fabulous!
Q: What are your goals/aspirations after college?
A: After college I would love to continue working in the merchandising and business side of retail, specifically in a boutique or smaller sized company. One day I aspire to have my own business, possibly a specialized boutique focusing on certain merchandise production techniques like embroidering!
