I was a merchandising intern with Dollywood May 2022- August 2022. My internship at Dollywood was a great learning experience. I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge in visual merchandising, inventory, sales techniques, and even learning how to effectively manage/ supervise merchandise. Learning consumer habits has been a very important part of my job to know how to sell things, where to merchandise things, and how to overall improve guests’ experiences.
