The End Is Here

Woah, what a ride it has been.

My internship with the Department for Communities has come to an end. On my last day, they surprised me with a farewell morning tea which was very kind of them.

For the last 20 days, the hands-on experience in the office has been a memorable time which I will take on board. I have definitely benefited from having this placement as a unit.

A few things that I have learnt during my placement are that-
- You need to communicate well with all your stakeholders and other colleagues
- The importance of deadlines
- Communication is the key
- Get straight to the point when writing in a journalistic style
- Be open to new challenges

The more experience you get in different industries can help you pick what type of career you want and expand your knowledge in the public relations practice.

Enjoy the rest of your time at your placements :)
