According to the Travel of a T-short in the global economy, briefly describe Julia Hughes' job. Briefly describe Augie Tantillo's job. Suppose you were offered a summer internship to work for Julia Hughes or Augie Tantillo. Which internship would you choose? Why?
I would prefer to work for Julia Hughes rather than Augie Tantillo because julia Hughes is the President of the United States Fashion Industry Association (USFIA). USFIA represents all segments of the fashion industry, from apparel brands to retailers to service companies. I would like to intern as an Assitant Fashion designer because Ms. Hughes represents the interests of textile and apparel importers on trade policy issues to government officials, both in the United States and overseas. She has testified before Congress and the Executive Branch on textile trade. Ms. Hughes is also recognized as an expert in textile and apparel issues and is a frequent speaker at international conferences including the Apparel Sourcing Show, MAGIC, Foreign Service Institute, National Association of Manufacturers, Cotton Sourcing Summit, USIA’s Worldnet, the International Textiles and Clothing Bureau, Young Presidents’ Organization, World Trade Organization Beijing International Forum and others. Also, i would learn something great in terms of fashion industry from her so i am really interested in working at her.
