Well, it's the end of semester. For most of us our final report is due tomorrow (and considering that, I have left my final blog a little late but I still feel daunted by blogging!) and it will be the end of uni for many of us.
It's been a huge semester. Like many of you, I had to juggle 5 full time weeks of work experience along with trying to keep up with my other units at uni and find time to fit in my normal job so I would get paid! It has definitely been hard but also worth it.
The five weeks that I spent at PPR were incredible. I learnt so much and finally have some realistic ideas about what to expect when i enter the 'real world'. I also have developed some confidence in myself to implement the skills that I have gained throughout my time at university.
The most enjoyable part of my work placement was probably the work i did for Perth Fashion Festival - I found it to be both interesting and challenging while helping me to developed new and existing pr skills. Looking back, the other highlight of my time at PPR was the people. I came to have some quite good relationships with a number of the staff members and after finishing my placement I actually missed seeing these people every day!
The idea of work experience terrified me at the beginning of semester but now I know how important and beneficial it is for all of us to gain real experience and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to do so at such a great consultancy with such great people :)
Good luck to everyone in completing your reports and best of luck for the future!
- Samantha
