Third week of my work experience is over but the thrill and excitement of the work force hasn't even slightly subsided. This week has been a great learning week and has allowed me to have some real insight and experience in the field by helping to write a media release for the Camp Quality Supper Club. It was a really fantastic way to really hone in on my skills and learn what was really needed in the industry these days. The media release was submitted to several newspapers and was set to appear in the Community News and The Sunday Times. Definitely adding that one to the portfolio.
It was absolutely fascinating to see the preparation and the talent that goes into organising an event such as the Supper Club, even down to the invitations as the event was Alice in Wonderland themed, it was truly amazing.
A few more databases were tackled in this fateful week too, after work I like to go home and just not speak so that I can stand the sound of my voice the next day when I'm stuck making phone call after phone call verifying names and positions.
I start to get sad every time that I remember I only have one more week to go in this position, it really has been such a great experience and after having become quite close to quite a few people and finally getting the hang of the train and morning traffic that plagues my path to Subiaco every single morning without fail.
One more week to go, better make the most of it.

Go Katherine,
WOW, does this sound familiar! I also had to update multiple databases during my stay at SJGMH and I totally agree that it an get repetitive calling up organisations and confirming positions.
However, I also felt that this activity boosted my confidence and my ability to communicate effectively over the phone and get my point across in a blunt but professional manner.
Good luck with the rest of your internship!
It is definitely great to see fellow students like myself actually putting our educational knowledge to use in the field of PR, it does seem we have accomplished something haven't we?
I hope you internship went well and that all your hard work has been recognized by your employers.
