ok, doing a masters in computer science specializing in Systems Assurance and I applied for this internship: (details below)
I really don't know what the fuck was going through my head, but anyway i've got an interview with then on tuesday. Im thinking about going in looking like I just rolled out of bed to see what their reaction is. My question is this, what do I do if they actualy accept me for the job? At this point I think the interview (for my part) is just for experience, that and im curious as to how much they would pay.

If you're a college junior or senior seeking work experience in the real world, our Store Internship Program is a great entry-level way to try on the retail suit. And see how it fits. For twelve weeks you will be in our stores, immersed in the hands-on basics of merchandising. Experience will teach you the roles of leadership, teamwork, and retail sales strategies. Our three-phase program covers Retail Sales, Store Design, and Inventory Management. It's a great paid opportunity to learn the dynamics of Crate and Barrel retailing. And because we like to promote from within, internships have historically been a great "in" to a Crate and Barrel career.
Phase One: Retail Sales During this phase you will work closely with the store's management team and associates to learn creative sales techniques. You will assist department heads with stocking, pricing, and maintaining appearance of merchandise. You will also learn the vital role of advertising, promotions, and catalogues.
Phase Two: Store Design At this point, you will focus on the basics of Crate and Barrel design. You will be exposed to beginning design theory by assisting the store designer in setting up and maintaining store displays. You will also become
acquainted with sign machine operation, lighting and floor plans, fabric changes, and design supplies.
Phase Three: Inventory Management
Here you will gain more behind the scenes experience unpacking and organizing merchandise in the stockroom aisles. You will also learn the basics of inventory including worksheets and pick labels. There will be special emphasis on store maintenance, packaging, and computer work.
