Not enough hours in a day!


Hi Again!

During the past couple of days I have been assigned a variety of advertising tasks comprising of a detailed advertising schedule, composing a feature article, creating a DPS, and not to mention sales and admin duties!

I have really enjoyed conversing with various editors from magazines such as SCOOP. I have began composing a two-page feature article, which has entailed me answering a variety of interview questions. I am hoping to proof the article next week to show you all!

I have also been working with our graphic designer to come up with an advert as part of our teaser campaign. The advert will be published in 3x high-end glossy magazines 3-5weeks prior to the opening and is also be placed on billboards. 

This has all been over a few days – and there are just not enough hours in a day! For me it all came down to time management and prioritising my work – which for myself, which is something I don’t consider I have previously been good at. I have just been doing my utmost at prioritising my work load and continually see each task I start through,

Hope you have all been enjoying your placements so far!

All the best,

Courtney

Hi Courtney.

I agree with several points in your post. Time management is certainly something you don't consider to be an important skill during a days work at uni. However, time management is critical to success in the real world as you soon found out. It looks like you have undergone a great range of tasks and challenges.

Glad to hear you had a positive experience with Scoop magazine, I admit to being an avid reader.

All the best for you placement.
