My time at Venn is nearly up, I will complete my internship
on the 29th of May. This year on top of my university studies I followed
a dream of mine to become a qualified Yoga teacher and during my training it became
extremely obvious that teaching Yoga is how I want to spend the rest of my
life. Because of this I have resigned from my position at Venn in order to put
my full heart and soul into teaching Yoga.
I realise that what you have just read isn’t exactly related
to Public Relations or to you as Public Relations students and so allow me to
make the connection. Because I have given up my position the position is now
open to another intern and applications are currently open!
During my time at Venn I was given many responsibilities and
allowed far more creative freedom than I ever hoped I could be given as an
intern. I completed tasks such as;
- Creating blog posts, Facebook posts, Instagram posts and E-news posts. All of which I was for the most part allowed to come up with my own creative ways of getting a message across through my words.
- I helped to plan events and the themes behind them, this was really enjoyable. Helping to run the actual events was great experience as well.
- I was given the responsibility of all the media monitoring and the maintenance of these files.
- I was given the opportunity to create my own promotion ideas in line with the opening of the new Laneway entrance, for this I chose to hold a 2 for 1 coffee deal, which ended up being quite successful. For this I was required to carry out the promotion from start to finish, which saw me handing out coffee coupons to workers one morning.
- I was given the task of creating a media release for many of the events held during my time as intern and compiling databases of relevant media publication contacts to approach with the release.
All in all I have had a BLAST to say the least and there is
always plenty of opportunities to unwind after events and have more of a social
time with the other Venn staff members. The other office staff are a wonderful
bunch of people, all very passionate about Venn which makes it a lively office culture
to be a part of.
